One reason the past three months feel like years and longer is because I am spending much time anticipating where this is headed. Comparing this to 1933 with the purges and defiance of norms and complicity of those who know better, I can’t help from seeing what is down the road if we don’t stop it now….kristallnacht, invasions of other countries, more concentration camps, huge economic disaster, a big war where we are on the wrong side and which we lose.

Okay, all true, let’s talk about “…. If we don’t stop this…”

Who are we the stoppers? Not the educated few, for sure. All the bright, insightful documentation and outrage won’t move the dial.

Most college educated voters were not for P.T.

The disenfranchised middle and working classes aren’t reading here, or likely anywhere else.

Less than 38% of adults in the US went to college.

A huge percentage of public Highschool graduates do so with a fourth grade reading level.

Besides the fact that these people were taken for granted by one side and left behind by both, matters. They are not stupid, they’re uneducated.

Most people here don’t speak their language. Maybe AOC does, a New York bartending working girl.

But more importantly… this is a coup. Legal interventions aren’t working. They are steam rolling it all.

If we don’t stop this really is:

How Do We Stop This?!!

…. And that is the only thing I want to read about now.

I don’t need to know anything else this crew of recking ball narcissists does or has in mind. They are traitors and criminals and they are exercising a coup.

Throw. Them. Out.

It's a nightmare scenario allright. The recent 'Hands Off' protests were diverse so there is a need to build on those coalitions to peacefully disrupt the Trump administration's dismantling of laws, norms, media, the economy and the power of the co-equal branches of government.

Flooding happening, we are losing the grip.

Well, we have also eliminated the phenomenon known as the "slow news day." One could fill a front page just with the TROs being issued. Not that MSM will.
