With the way Congress has governed recently I am not optimistic right now. They are ignoring the people entirely. And the Democrats are locked out of everything going on. They can show up but cannot do anything.
I am not looking forward to 2018. Trump and company will not tolerate protests. And even if there are protests will the MSM cover them. The way the GOP is ratcheting up the rhetoric against Mueller it looks like we are heading into a real crisis.

(102,276 posts)When I see your various posts multiple times a day, I can feel my BP skyrocketing, an ulcer in my stomach get larger, feelings of despair wash over me.
I'm not trying to tell you what to post or how often or anything of the kind, but realize please that if we are going to fight back we ALL have to be healthy (mentally and physically) and determined (not demoralized and fearful).
Perhaps you could add a comment to some of your posts expressing what you think we can be doing now--very doable individual actions-- to avoid the dire consequence you've just posted about. Throughout history, those who have fought back, rebelled, survived have been able to find ways to empower themselves. Without hope of such a plan, people tend to give up.

(637 posts)If the protest is peaceful, mass arrests offer an excellent opportunity to get our message out.
IMHO: There's no shortage of things to be upset (to put it mildly) about but it's important that everyone stay on a single message in order to drive home the point. The R's are way better than the demos at messaging and drive a single message in unison for a day or days.

(37,748 posts)Earlier this year, you'd posted that we'd already be in a violent civil war by now.
Your powers of prophecy, however consistent, are consistently inaccurate.
