Where are the nationwide protests? The national strikes against the destruction of what is left of U.S. democracy? As for the eerie complacency of the Democrats, it is hardly surprising why there is such a huge loss of trust in the leadership of the Democratic Party.

    Protests help with the world view, but it won’t make a difference with this administration. The thing that could work is a nationwide work stoppage. But that is a lot harder to pull off.

    We still need more tRump voters to see what his actions are doing to them. That’s the only way they’ll get it. When it affects them.

      They might not even get it when it affects them. As long as the leopards eat their enemies faces, they’re OK with having the leopards eat their faces as well. Hate is a powerful motivator, unfortunately.

        They can also just deny that their own faces are being eaten at all. They still totally have a pension and great benefits. They only lost two teeth from deflouridated water! The value of their investment portfolio went up from $200k all the way to $50k! The mortgage company is just making a mistake by foreclosing on my house, don’t worry, Trump will give it back to me soon!

        Denial is how they’ll live the rest of their entire, miserable lives.
