Is Trump going to turn America into Russia and what we are we going to do about it ?

My grandparents left Russia right after the first revolution in 1905. It seems things never change. They are back to autocratic rule.

Civil liberties are a joke in Russia. Habeas corpus is a joke in Russia. LGBTQ rights are a joke in Russia. A free press is a joke in Russia. In fact journalists get wacked there if they go too far astray. Elections are a joke in Russia.

That is what Trump and his Deplorables have in store with America.

The America as we knew it was not without flaws but it was a damn good place, certainly a place not worth giving up without a fight.


The Trumps, et al, don't give a shit about America. How else can you explain the no mean feat of being in this nation for over one hundred years and not have one freaking family member serve in the armed forces.

I'm not sure that we can do anything about it. I plan on sending something to the electors anyway.
