So I have some concerns about next week. The IG report is coming out on the Hillary email investigation. No idea what it will show, but you can count on trump supporters, Fox, Republicans, etc. to use anything it says to create massive distraction and go after anyone who was involved in that investigation.
The North Korea summit is also happening, and so many people are giving trump a lot of credit for that nonsense. CNN just showed his approval up to 44% thanks to NK and the economy.
Now we do get the Manafort and Michael Cohen sagas next week. But it just seems like an endless stream of right-wing propaganda that makes it so hard to keep the narrative on our side. Twitter is like an echo chamber of Trump praise from all the bots. And people buy into that crap.
I wish we had a better way to fight against right-wing propaganda.

Put a sign in your lawn. Wear a Democrat shirt. Piss them off where it hurts them, in public. It's the ugliest period in modern history. Life isn't supposed to be this hard in the USA.

You can reach out to your local in-state college radio station and ask them to drop the hate radio.
Or you can do the transcription thing on the site. Or just publicize the site!
Second, you can use yourself as a cheap billboard:
Reaching Fox voters is a way to weaken the president, until we can vote in 2018.
