One is the republican party & they won't. The other two are the IC & the military & he's pissed both of them off.

My two closest friends both vote but aren't political. Throughout last year they assured me Trump wouldn't make it through the primaries. Then they assured me he wouldn't win the general. Now they assure me that the dems will take care of it. I asked them how? They have no power to do anything. Even on this site you read that our democracy is stronger than Trump & will survive. I really worry at this attitude that it can't happen here, because it's happening before our very eyes.
