I think we need to work on figuring out how to remove Bannon from the administration. It is very likely that Bannon has some negative/scandalous information on Trump that is allowing him to control Trump (and very likely for Pence as well). It will be hard to remove Bannon. But not impossible. If Bannon goes away, our democracy might be saved.
I think it will take an uprising of people who have been both Democrats and Republicans. It will take nonstop protests and probably shutting down certain institutions. We are in completely new territory. If the people do not 1) recognize what is happening and 2) rise up en masse, our institutions will crumble (as they already are). It sounds extreme. But these takeovers have happened again and again throughout history. Just never here. Hopefully we can recognize before it's too late. Parties do not matter any more. We need to be working with John McCain and even Dick Cheney to stop this.

(86,575 posts)The cleaning of our house needs to begin today and all actions pronounced by them need to be put on hold or rendered unadministerable.
This is a Constitutional emegency and needs to be recognized as such. Anyone who does the right thing now probably need not worry about the dirt the oval office king has on them to make them hold their protest. If they expect to live much longer, they had better do their actual job and resist/overturn this coup.

(6,137 posts)Trump can't even function w/o Bannon. He would have never won election without Bannon. He doesn't understand the reason behind those policies.

(55,894 posts)let's not pretend that Trump is a drooling idiot. He's on board with white supremacy and fascism.
