Nonviolent Noncooperation: Stop Trump NOW ... BEFORE He's Inaugurated

If Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi were among us today, do you really think they'd say, "The people spoke when they elected Donald Trump. We must respect that decision and move on"?

Of course they wouldn't. Furthermore, I think we should respect King's and Gandhi's legacies by putting ourselves on the line NOW -- while there's still time -- to stop Trump BEFORE he's inaugurated.

As a matter of fact, I believe so sincerely that We the People must rise against Trump NOW that I've plowed major amounts of time and more money than I could afford into promoting that idea. Might I ask you to have a look and give it some thought? It's posted here: orangeflu.com

Thanks for your consideration.

The Clock Is Ticking but It's NOT Too Late To Stop Trump!

Since the election, I've poured many dozens of working hours (and a few dozen bucks) into a Stop Trump project that I've posted at the URL orangeflu.com . I hope I can persuade you to go read what I've posted there. (It's fairly extensive and would not scan too comfortably in the standard DU format. The formatting I've used for my site, however, is -- even if I do say so myself -- very easy on the eyes and reader-friendly.)

The "elevator" version is this:

1. Because Trump's -- at best -- a pseudo-fascist, if we wait until until he's actually inaugurated to try to mount a resistance, it may be too late. Once right-wing authoritarian populists assume power they tend to (a) refuse to give it up peacefully -- ever; and (2) use state powers systematically to eliminate all viable opposition.

2. By using mass, focused nonviolent noncooperation, it's still possible to derail the wholly illegitimate Trump regime BEFORE he's inaugurated.

In these regards, I have a favor to ask: If you're going to post comments, below, please read what I've posted at orangeflu.com and address that. Because our time is so very, very short, I'm really hoping we can keep things as focused as possible.
