Michael Moore Discusses 5 Ways To Challenge Trump

How To Stop Trump? Michael Moore Discusses 5 Ways To Challenge The President-Elect

“Brush your yourself off and let's get busy because: a) All hope is not lost; b) There are more of us than there are of them; and c) The roadside is littered with the ended careers of self-absorbed, narcissistic politicians whose arrogance led them to do things that caused their early resignation or impeachment. Don't think that can’t happen here,” he wrote.

He also urged people to write to the Democratic National Committee demanding they elect Congressman Keith Ellison as the new chairperson of the Democratic Party.

“Ellison and the progressive wing of the party must take us forward. Keith has the backing of Bernie Sanders and myself, but also the endorsement of some of the old guard who've come around to see the error of past ways (Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, etc.)… Ellison is also the only Muslim member of Congress. He was one of the few members of Congress brave enough to back Bernie. He will fight to turn this around and, as a son of the Midwest, bring that part of the country back from the dark side,” the filmmaker wrote.

In addition to all the above, Moore asked people to turn up for the non-violent protests organized for Inauguration Day. He urged everyone to join the millions planning on marching through the streets of Washington D.C. on Jan. 20 to “non-violently disrupt the proceedings.”

there will be infiltrators in the protest ranks making trouble and trying to make all the protesters look like thugs... they do it every time, and it's often cops and others of that ilk intent on disrupting the protests. Do beware of those who look to start trouble when you are in the streets.
