Can we stop with the...

"This is getting serious..."
"Now he needs to be impeached..."
"This proves he is racist..."
"Now we know _____ about trump..."
Etc. Etc. Etc.

No there are no new lows or new revelations anymore. I'm tired of hearing people bringing up the daily tweets like it is revealing something new. Nope it's all known by now. Why trump is still in office is a disgrace. No one has the guts to do the right thing. I'm just tired of it all...

And that is all.

..nobody does anything to hold him to account. The more he can get away with, the more he will try to get away with. That's who he is.

There has to be a balance of powers.

6. It helps to maintain our sense of outrage

Acceptance is a form of resignation and defeat. Perhaps personality types that differ from your own can benefit from the daily reminder that this is not normal and that millions refuse to normalize it. Get annoyed at the inhumane lawlessness, not people's methods of rejecting it. You are not the only one who is weary.

it's never any worse. It is completely and absolutely horrific every day. Saying today is the worst implies that all that has happened before wasn't as bad.

That's all it will take for Trump to gain another term.

So he must be driven out NOW. NOW.

Massive protests.

The time to hesitate is through.

We can only stop this lawless juggernaut by choosing (each of us) to stand for liberty, against tyranny.

The choice is ours. And not choosing is a choice.

It may mean taking to the street very soon.

... however the more his nasty is analysed, shared and even mocked the more angry and unhinged he gets. He is manchild of the interwebs and the more he sees that people are mocking him the more outrageous he gets and that chips away at his support for 2020. Think of it as a liberal unhinge the bastard campaign by any means possible... I have a spare, things are going to get better progressive decoder ring, if you need it?

14. I am grateful for the outrage, as I grow weary.

I really understand how you feel. But on days when I just can't muster it anymore, I am thankful that others still have the energy to keep up the fight.

This should never be normal; never be accepted; never be met with resignation.
