This is a Historic Time.

History will not look kindly at a man and his cohorts that willfully colluded with our fiercest enemy to make a simple minded man the leader of the free world. Their only purpose is to destroy America as we know it to enrich themselves and willfully allow, in fact precipitate the deaths of millions of Americans by taking away their health care. Wellness visits for women which includes mammograms and tests for uterine cancer, prenatal care, child care. They laughed and hauled out beer kegs to celebrate their deaths. This is not the America I knew, yet it is the America we now have.

Think about it. It is not just healthcare which will kill us. Our environment and our EPA control, will kill us. The CDC, underfunded. Infrastructure, you may die on the bridge that collapses on your way home. The FDA, protecting our food is no longer important to them. Yet it will kill us and stupid them it can kill them too.

same piece of cloth. Trump just does and says what many in the GOP have been afraid to say. Now, they have a spokesman for the destruction of the US and all it represents. It's been their goal since FDR days. They are an evil bunch, but yet so many Americans remain clueless and/or or stupid about it, and others welcome the destruction of the US for whatever distorted reasons.

assuming the office of President of the US were willfully allowed to fail. It could have been stopped with the Electoral College, but electors favored allowing a madman to assume office. The consequences will be severe to the nation as a whole,

They are evil. Every last one of them. The sheep follow and do not give a damn about America, because they hate many Americans that are different.

WE ARE AMERICA. White, black, PoC, women, Muslim, LGBT. American Indian...all of us all colors and stripes. WE are America.

The end is unclear. Yet, good people are going to die. That is a known fact.

2. Trump is the anti-Obama president

The purpose of Trump's whole point in becoming president is pay-back for having to sit and endure Obama burning and ridiculing him at the White House Correspondent's Dinner. He has a scorched earth policy about anything Obama and he is hell bent on doing his best to destroy anything related to Obama.
He appoints people to cabinet positions who either want to destroy the agencies they will head or are simply an in-your-face "see I can do as I please" as president.
Republicans are stuck between a rock and a hard place, deservedly so, since so many of them have hitched their political wagons to Trump or have been silent about what he has done and will do.
But Trump being harshly judged by history is not going to be any comfort to all of the people who will both suffer as well as die as a result of his regime.

hate people who did not vote. Those are the true enemies of democracy, not even trump voters. Nothing will change until at least 70-80% of the population will start voting each and every election, no matter how small, no matter how hard. If there is a silver lining, will see what happens in 2018. If voter turnout is low again, not even God will help our country and we deserve all of it.

No matter how much we like to bash trump voters, there is nothing more anti-american than non-voting. I will respect folks who voted for trump before I respect those who didn't vote at all.

14. About the GOP voters, a reminder

This uneducated (and in most cases uneducable because they get angry when presented facts) group is problem. They are incapable of putting two and two together. Not just Trump or the knuckle-dragging, Koch-loving GOP members of Congress. Yes, these dumb as rocks voters are the minority but they VOTE!

We need people voting in 2018 and we need paper ballots counted by people.
How are we to accomplish these goals?
