Donald Trump is not the problem. Donald Trump is a symptom of the problem.
Yes, we have to defeat this man in November. We need to win so decisively that any reasonable person will laugh at claims it was stolen. And we need to send Donald Trump's oversized hind parts to jail. But that is only the beginning.
We need to defeat the notion that government is evil, and it's okay to undermine it. Government isn't just necessary; it's inevitable. If they tear down our government they will replace it with something worse. Something much, much worse.
We need to let people know that the "deep state" is comprised of patriots who have dedicated themselves to the public good.
We need to let people know that the brown people aren't coming to this country to take your job. They're coming to take the jobs you don't want, and they're working for really, really low wages. They are no threat.
Actually, there a lot fewer threats than you might imagine.
There's a small cabal of people who have managed to create a concentration of wealth, and therefore a concentration of power. They are entrenched now, but they are not undefeatable. The thing which scares them most is a united populace, which is why they have worked so hard to keep us fighting each other.
Yes, our government could use some improvement. The only way it can be improved is if we, the people, stand together and demand it. Destroying the system won't improve anything.
Beware of people who tell you who and what to fear. They are trying to manipulate you.
OK, had to get that off my chest. Really, we have to win the larger argument. We're the ones who have a vision for what America can become. They're the ones who won't allow it.
