The civic unrest that's happening now is child's play compared to that.

However we are seeing severe and frightening threats to our democracy now that have no counterpart to those times of the late 60's and early 70's. It's the hidden undermining activities that could literally change the course of our history. We must act to stop what the GOP is trying to do and what they already have done.

We have to vote these fuckers out in November. Emasculate Trump as soon as possible, impeach him if we can. Get the good guys back in office and make new laws so this crap NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN!
