Donald Trump ain't the cause of anything. He is the symptom of our times. As Obama said - "don't get mad - vote" .. apparently, not enough of us took it seriously.

It is important that we don't become victims of impotent rage. Let us do something meaningful about it. I hosted two town level Democratic association meetings at my house ..We are putting together a campaign for town council, state senate and ultimately Congressional elections in 2018.

...are not mutually exclusive.

Maybe search for some of my other posts here in the past couple weeks encouraging everyone to call their reps. A LOT of action was taken by myself and others. Some of it helped prevent the GOP's disastrous wealthcare bill from passing. THAT is action. And results, thankyouverymuch.

Someone being angry about Trump does not mean they're not DOING something. They can be angry AND do things about it.

Don't auto-assume they're not. It's condescending and insulting.
