Holding hands and singing Kumbaya doesn't work anymore. SMASH DOWN THE GOP!

No more Mr. and Mrs. Nice Guy! It doesn't work. It NEVER will in politics.

The GOP must be crushed! When they go low, we hit HARDER!

People don't need "hope." They need good JOBS. They need good healthcare. They need good homes. They need good vehicles. They need good wages. They need a good retirement. They need a good environment. They need some leisure time. They need a government that works for all the people, not just the privileged. These are what people need.

7. You know I'm not serious. But I AM serious about blasting the GOP and 45.

I'm in 100% agreement, there is no "nice" to play there. Which is why I like Michael Avenatti. Not as an actual candidate (although we have worse in the WH), but because he gives no quarter to Trump or Republicans. He is doing this right. Peace and love, while always a beautiful ideal, will not bring down this beast. Avenatti's tactics have a definite effect, you can see Trump avoiding him as much as possible.
