Each outrage wakes up a new segment of the population

And normally people do get tired out. I have never been so angry in my life. Every day I get angrier. People are being pushed to their limits. Everyone will know someone who is affected by this. I told my teen-next they will do this to the Mexicans-she has many Mexicans in her school and friends-and then it will be too close to home. The problems with this unrest is once people feel they have nothing left to lose-like theirvery lives and homes-they don't care. You can't stop them. That's why normally they placate us with crumbs. The crumbs of humanity are gone. We soon have nothing to lose. That's what happens in the 3rd world countries. We won't stop until we are forced to.

It is basically what did in OWS. Thankfully, the M$M has not been shutting this one out like they did OWS.

If they media stays on the stories, we have a chance to hold out longer than the RWers in charge.

Still need some massive turnout in '18 to flip some red districts.

when Obama was elected. There were people who were angry but eventually, they settled down. For all the birther shit Twitler tried to stir up, there wasn't much action. He has seriously misjudged the situation. If anything, there will be more protests as his extremism becomes more and more apparent and we become more organized.

What's his next big bright idea? He's only got for years and right now the damage he's doing to himself makes it unlikely he'll get much done. He can't govern by EO exclusively much longer before everyone - including House and Senate members become outraged.

I say it's Trump that will quit and go home first...

piss off so many segments of society and so frequently that I'm sorry I think enough of us are outraged that there will just be a constant pool of people showing up. We all can't be at every rally but there are enough of us that there will always be a crowd. Of course also telling us your strategy will give us further resolve. Furthermore, you have now spurred the largest opposition surge in modern times...which is not good for Trashpot.

Every time I flag, I'll remember that His Orangeness is waiting for me to be, as he says, "low energy." Thanks, Donny, for the PEP talk, you flaming asshole-of-Satan.
