The people versus the president

In the first days of the Donald Trump presidency--and no, we don't know when we'll be able to write those three words without shuddering--two things have become clear.

Number one: Trump is going to be as horrible as anyone could have feared.

And number two: He's also going to be as widely resisted as anybody could have hoped--even if that means ordinary people have to drag their "representatives" into the fight.

What you are seeing is not just his 'right wing' agenda. It is the agenda of the Repug Party. We need to win the House & Senate back by deposing the Repug Party and not just getting rid of Trump. Don't get distracted by Trump.
