Is it time to form a shadow government?

Imagine there was an actual organization where:

* Information from whistle-blowers could be collected and analyzed.
* Legal strategies could be formulated and promulgated and activists with a legal bent could volunteer.
* Liaisons could be formed with businesses and foreign governments to exchange accurate information and plan for a post-Trump future.
* Contributions could be pooled and directed to situations of immediate need.
* A cadre of intelligent and informed spokespeople with specialized knowledge could be formed to respond to crises.
* Legal services could be directed to people directly attacked by Trump.

The possibilities are endless. Yeah, I get it that the Democratic Party should be where it's happening, or that Hillary and Bill Clinton, Chuck Schumer, or Nancy Pelosi should be there -- but if they wanted to do that, they'd be doing it already.

What do you think?

There is no shadowy government of liberals. Or SGL for short.
