If 10's of millions of people in the streets doesn't wake you Politicans up,,,,,

You are are beyond Hope!.

Can u imagine if there were 10's of millions of Rethugs in the streets instead of Progressives how the Rethugs would be acting?

Wake up and smell that Blue Tsunami that's acoming!

How sweet is it that it will be Women and POC who lead the cleansing of this ShitholeNChief and all his deplorables from our Gubermint!

Threatening violent revolution in our faces as a means of intimidation.
They are racists, they are misogynists, they are bigots.
They are Republicans. And they are the minority.
But they have all the power... for the moment.
If President Fucktard is going to egg them on to
'Punch us in the face"... then I'm gonna say, there
are more of us and don't you dare cross us. I feel
there's a difference between advocating senseless
violence and taking courageous action for what
we believe in. We stand up. We fight back.
And we're gonna vote your rightwing asses
back to the stink you came from.

Women's rights are human rights. My mother was a woman. How about yours?

All Americans must demand:

As many women as men in Congress, Senate, White House, Supreme Court.

Equal pay for women.

Respect for a woman's health choices.

Women to be treated as equals.

There are more women college graduates than men. Women are better at cooperative problem solving than men.

I am sure that what I am saying is just the tip of the iceberg.

Again, my mother was a woman. My wife was a woman. My daughter is a woman. And any knuckle-dragging idiot man who thinks they are more deserving than them can kiss my old, white ass.

Make sure everyone you know does something to support them. This includes supporting and encouraging women, young people, minorities, etc to run for office, any level. Run from dog local catcher to congressperson. Walk, knock on doors, make calls, donate, volunteer your time. Here is a link that will help spread the word with great info.

Also, last night on the nationwide confer call from MoveOn, Indivisible, The Women's March, etc we were told to go to Emily's List Run For Office.

As long as there are 2 or 3 billionaires willing to donate millions to a campaign.
Protests mean nothing anymore, only dollars.

Where was the major marches at? Mostly cities and states that went to Clinton? That's the problem, we have become too balkanized to have an impact and the electoral college shields them from the majority.
