Just 10 years ago the US was still seen as being progressive and racism was slowly becoming a thing of the past… and not even in 10 years all the major civil rights achievements of rhe past 70 years are being thrown out so fast it is making my head spin.

    Fuel for the fire. Unless you’re gonna go full civil war, you’re doing a disservice by spreading anger and hate.

    Let Trump let people down. Look at Brexit. UK voted liberal this past year. Don’t help radicalism spread.

      I’m not spreading hate. They are. I am spreading anger. Anger is a valid and useful human emotion. It’s an appropriate response to injustice. Anger is what gets people off the fucking couch. Good luck with your flowers, but people won’t march for love, and we need people to march.

      This isn’t Bexit. Brexit wasn’t caused by a mad authoritarian with control over the world’s largest military and the world’s most militarized police. This is the Fourth Reich.

      It will not stop until it is made to stop.

        Good point. We’ll have to see if the Supreme Court has any authority. Justice unfortunately takes a long time, especially at the executive level.
