(5,210 posts)all you have to do is look at what you're doing now.
No offense but I have to confess I'm alarmed by your wait and see attitude. YOU CANNOT count on his incompetence. He's got plenty of helpers who aren't quite so incompetent.
Further, he's inches away from a lock on the Americans' ability to resist. He's packing the courts with rightwing ideologues, and if he gets that SCOTUS pick and even more of them, we're done.
Even more: if Republicans don't start standing up to him, so much more damage can be done it's incalculable.
AND finally, the 2018 election. I am very fearful about nothing (almost nothing) being done. All Russia has to do is figure out (or get told) which key races matter -- esp. in the Senate -- and that's potentially over for us too.
It's not enough to wait and see if and when other Americans "rise up." We've got to rise up NOW. I'm not physically able to do much more at this point than pellet my MoC with faxes (and sometimes phone calls):
Call 24/7: 202-224-3121
Free Faxes (can incl up to 3 pages attached) to Senators: https://faxzero.com/fax_senate.php
Free Faxes (ditto) to Congress: https://faxzero.com/fax_congress.php
TEXT your faxes: Text RESIST to 50409
Write your MoC - DEMOCRACY.IO https://democracy.io/#/
Soon I think I'll try to find at least one campaign to do some phone calling for.
AND, I continue to try to raise awareness and push for paper ballots:
