America is in the gravest peril we gave ever experienced.  You may think that it was more grave when the British occupied and burned our capitol in 1814, but I think that may have been preferable to the occupation we have today by a fascist Russian agent.  If trump gets another appointment to SCROTUS (Republican Constitutional VD), that may be the end.  Fortunately Robert Reich, the Reich on the left has some ideas on how to save America.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My friends, this is a dark hour. Intolerance, cruelty, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, and environmental destruction have been let loose across the land. <\/p>\n

Trump controls the Republican Party, the Republican Party controls the House and Senate, and the Senate and Trump will soon control the Supreme Court. <\/p>\n

Republicans also control both chambers in 32 states (33 if you count Nebraska) and 33 governorships. And in many of these states they are entrenching their power by gerrymandering and arranging to suppress votes. <\/p>\n

Yet only 27 percent of Americans are Republican, and the vast majority of Americans disapprove of Trump. The GOP itself is now little more than Trump, Fox News, a handful of billionaire funders, and evangelicals who oppose a woman\u2019s right to choose, gay marriage, and the Constitution\u2019s separation of church and state. <\/p>\n

So what are we \u2013 the majority \u2013 to do?<\/p>\n

First and most importantly, do not give up.<\/h6>\n

That\u2019s what they want us to do. Then they\u2019d have no opposition at all… <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I shared one.  Click through for the other six.<\/font><\/p>\n

Robert has some excellent ideas.  Republican politicians, especially Senators, should never have room to fart without being overwhelmed by hundreds, if not thousands, of peaceful, not respectful, protestors, until the last Republican flushes out.<\/font><\/p>\n

RESIST!!<\/font><\/font><\/h1>\n

VOTE BLUE!!<\/font><\/font><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
