President Obama was right, we get the government we deserve

[Snake Plissken]

Trump's could be polling at 20% and it doesn't matter when 40.3% of eligible voters are too lazy to bother showing up to vote.

Trump should be sitting in a prison cell right now, but he won't even get impeached, and even has good chance of being reelected

We get the government we deserve, because Americans don't care, that is why we not only ended up with a pile of shit like Trump, but we have allowed his dysfunctional shithow to become the everyday norm.

1. That is right

But the idea long predates Obama.

2. I know but I mentioned Presdient Obama because Trump's win confirmed it

There should be millions of people marching on Washington to demand an end to this farce, but nobody cares

Even Phil Donahue is kissing the ass of the 22% of Trump voters as if they make up the majority of America

3. Sadly,

I agree.

Time to start taking a different approach. How do we survive this monstrosity? What can we do in our own backyards, for one another, sans a functioning humane federal government?

For now, I'm staying put in my blue state. Will buy locally, act locally, continue with my social justice work as long as I can.

Lots of thinking and planning to do. This is about survival.

4. We need about 10 million people to march on Washington, that is just a small fraction

of people who had enough of Trump's shitshow


Unless people come together in mass, this dysfunction shitshow will continue day in and day out, and their focus on voter suppression in swing states and swing counties will ensure 8 years of this.

Phil Donahue infuriated me, Donahue's "well he they stole the election, but the small percentage of Americans who support Trump really like him, so we can't impeach him because they'll get angry" bullshit ... is exactly the kind of attitude that allows Trump to continue being the biggest douchebag on the planet.

5. I knew he was on but didn't see him

And if that's what he said I also call bullshit on it.

All we have is our resistance in ways large
and small.

6. We need people who will fill the streets and not leave - just like in other dictatorships around

the world. Similar to a "coup." We go on strike.
