Easily a third of our fellow citizens seems to be okay with a totalitarian-leaning, racist, sexist president. That's hideous odds for a country full of overwhelmed impotent feeling voters being led by a Democratic Party of Complacency, who seem to spend more time counting their eggs before they hatch, than on doing the ground work needed to inform and engage an electorate to confront deception and dirty tricks. America's future seriously dependents on a big, huge grassroots uprising - both to clean up and invigorate the Democratic Party with young blood - then to energetically oppose the Republican Religious Absolutists and their hostile governmental take-over attempt. What part in this struggle will you play?
"… We patriots and dissidents, we many, we strong, we steadfast, are the last hope the country has of returning to what remains of a pre-Trump America, where porn stars weren’t paid off, accused wife beaters weren’t valorized and our president showed more allegiance to our country than to another." C.M.B.
Is how Charles Blow finished his commentary at the New York Times that starts with about 600 words summarizing highlights of our nightmare at the White House. Then he gets to what needs to be shared, it adds substance to the simmer sense of terror I live with these days. I’ve chopped out much to keep within my allotted word count, please link to the entire article, it’s worth the read.
The bottomline is that nothing less than a truly invigorated movement of progressives and liberal minded citizens getting informed and engaged will be able to confront this Koch/trump juggernaut. {Okay, true enough, it's one thing to constantly bitch about the problems, it's another thing to actually attempt outlining issues and challenges. I finish with one such effort: "14 observations on our dysfunctional public dialogue."}

But the storm is upon us; we are in it.
… This is a fight for the soul of the country.
