It Will Be Hard To Challenge Trump With A Vichy MSM.

What ever Trump does to screw things up we can count on the media helping him all they can. We know the usual suspects but the traditional media is likely to help as well. The signs right now are hardly hopeful. The Denver Post recently put on the front page that Trump was the one who backed down the GOP on the ethics vote. Plus our local channels are all this happy talk that pretty much normalizes the prick.

I can just see the media portraying protesters as thugs and anti American. I see the trend to black out protest marches. It will be more of the same that we experienced with Bush.

"Donald Trump is the biggest popular vote loser in history to ever call himself President- Elect. In spite of the fact that he has no mandate, he will attempt to use his congressional majority to reshape America in his own racist, authoritarian, and corrupt image. If progressives are going to stop this, we must stand indivisibly opposed to Trump and the members of Congress (MoCs) who would do his bidding. Together, we have the power to resist — and we have the power to win...."

this would happen I would love to see a massive amount of people in the streets.

Also the Water protectors for the North Dakota Pipeline were out in horrible conditions and treated horribly and they deterred their opponents and won. Just food for thought.
