I don't think the trumpers are going to start a wide spread "revolution"

This morning I thought of an experience I had when I was a young man. I was working at a meat plant in rural Ohio. The crew was about 20 guys. We'd been talking amongst ourselves all morning how we hadn't had a raise in a long time. Finally we all got together and went into the office. We were all standing around with our hands in our pockets. I realized all these guys who had been talking big s few minutes ago were cowards. I ended uo taking the lead and told the manager why we were there. I wasn't even 19 yet. I think most trumpers are cowards. There might be a few scattered incidents but they, like their god-leader are a bunch of cowards.

managment did that stuff they do where evryone got paid differently and you weren't supposed to talk about it. At least after that they standardized pay.

a co-worker was given a 10 cent raise at his yearly review. He laughed at them and told them to keep it.

and that's it. I am so freaking tired of claims of widespread violence, or certification of election results being held up indefinitely that I just want to scream at the people who constantly say these things.

That have exploded across the country with Republican help and Republicans finally get demonized for their extreme behavior.
