They still have the House, Senate, Presidency and Supreme Court. And nuclear weapons. We can't stop fighting until we take over Congress next year. Then we fight even harder.

Sitting back is old school, before the advent of the short attention span culture.

Now, flames must be fanned quickly and constantly so no one can regroup with downtime.

Steve Bannon, their Breitbart Reichsführer, and architect of Trump's resounding victory (at least according to Breitbart) vs. Saint Trump, patron Saint of Hopeless Morons, and Commander in Chief of the Trump Kult-Keyboard-Kommandos . If Bannon and Trump don't patch this up the cult will be torn between two vicious liars, and which vicious liar will they choose to follow? This might cause a slight shift in the ultra-right-wing, nut-job vote. I'd really hate for that to happen.

And when they succeed, move with all speed to take their political place. Cf. Virginia, Alabama, Pennsylvania.

That's what some of us did when there was a blood bath at the radio station. Just keep yer own head down, stay out of sight, and don't attract any attention to yourself.

Pop the popcorn, open the chocolate ice cream, find a nice comfy seat, and watch the action!
