It's time to face the hard truth, we need to stop saying "Not my President"

And we need to start saying "Not my Speaker of the House. Not my Senate Majority Leader. Not the committee chairmen of OUR House. And not my President."

Hey look, it's a train of abuses and usurpations, and I think we only need to ask ourselves and it's all I am asking here, when exactly does it become a "long train of abuses and usurpations"?

ALL democrats and patriotic Americans need to refer to them as the Party of Trump in EVERY reference to the GOP, republicans, etc.

They need to OWN HIM because

1) decades of their hateful, disconnected from reality bullshit primed the country to allow for his candidacy.
2) after they were unable to derail his candidacy, they, as they always do, got behind him 100 percent when he gained the nomination.
3) They now are completely enabling him.

It's just as petty(though not as racist) as it was when Righties said Obama wasn't their President. Listen, we're still all in this together, a large enough % of our country voted for Trump that he is now the President for all of us.

We have to get Trump removed from office, but until then he is the President.

and come to the conclusion that since this boy-potus and presidents bannon and miller DO NOT have the best interest of the MAJORITY of voters in minds, we need to start with ryan and mcconnell and say NOT MY elected officials....right on....

The vast majority of us did not, but we don't count even though there are more of us.

So, yeah, he is not my president.
