Republicans have subverted the will of the American people.

And we all sit here IMPOTENT.

Because apparently, a perfect storm has occurred, or something.

I actually think we need some form of help from our allies to stop this.

What form of help? Fuck if I know.

But here is what I do know. This fuckery will kill us sooner than any of us ever imagined. I can't wrap my head around what exactly is going on, but we all know intuitively that it is too big for us to grasp. That sick sour feeling in your stomach is telling you something.

We can talk about how crazy he is, we can write to our representatives, we can get out the vote for the 2018 congressional election, we can do all that good shit. But regardless, I think we are fucked in ways that have not even been invented yet, and I can't put my finger on exactly why. We need help, because we are lost, and we are impotent.

and that Putin would break up with him over a private dinner specially prepared by his ex KGB chef. Either that or his old Mafia pals decide to go after him for some reason. He would look good in his cement shoes as he goes into the East River for a swim.

We need to take steps to secure our voting system.
And insist the media challenge the GOP propaganda.

That would be a start.

belong on a forum dedicated to furthering democracy through the Democratic Party. Our job is to protect it from both those who would destroy it on purpose and those who would throw it away frivolously.
