When does Resistance become Rebellion?

Resistance is defensive and Rebellion is when we go on the offensive. How much longer can we wait? We cannot simply hunker down and ride this thing out. Fundamental changes taking place today will make it so that it never ends if we don't make it end.

Stop fighting the last election and start fighting the next one. There's blame to go around and it falls squarely on the cheaters and those who played active roles subverting the Democratic process.

End the Reign of Donnie The Red (ish orange)!

1. We Should Be On The Offensive Now Attacking Repeal As Racism.

We should be attacking the GOP leadership as racists and bigots and the more they deny the more we attack and get more vicious. Become uncivil and call them for what they are. Attack their supporters in the same ilk. Just go ballistic and combative. They are not ready for that tactic.

Different standards apply. IMHO we should all be watching our backs, like, NOW.

3. I think it will transition to "rebellion" when the primaries roll around.

Right now our best option is to slow down or stop any damage the administration and Republicans are doing. They truly have the numbers. As we move to the primaries it will be time for our message to get out. That isn't to say it won't happen at all between now and then.

One can be a part of the resistance and also be on the offensive. Those two thoughts are not mutually exclusive.

6. The Party seems to be gnashing its teeth on yesterday instead of organizing attacks against trump

You'd think he'd be easy enough to hit.

So far I'm seeing Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, Ted Lieu and a couple others carrying the load on tv and social media. I wonder if the Dem communication people will start to assemble a plan for attacking trump.
