The next election should be about America.

Are you pro-America or anti-America?

Are you a fake patriot? Do you claim to love your country but all your works and actions say otherwise?

Do you hate the other Party so much that you would sacrifice your country and your democracy to see them defeated?

Do you understand what your fathers and grandfathers (and mothers) have fought and died for?

Are you willing to bet it all on a con-artist with a good-sounding lie?

That appears to be where much of America is at this point in time. They have bought a ride on a train with no destination. America grieves for their ignorance and the ease of which they are manipulated by power-hungry politicians willing to sell America down the river.

Or are you one of those folks that believe you are supporting your country by supporting everything that runs counter to our Constitution and the laws of our country? Are you a sucker? Did you really sell out your country for such a cheap price?

Is that really all that America meant to you?

Either someone on our side does something DRASTIC and completely out of character (legal, not violent) to get their attention, or bye bye.

and on purpose but pretend doing it in the moment use the F word in an excited way describing the END of America if people dont vote.

It goes viral on YouTube, people who dont even own TV's let alone NEVER watch political shows, see it.

OR SOMETHING else, anyone have a better idea, fine!

SOMETHING

....refuse to vote unless Trump is charged and prosecuted? Nothing wakes up a politician like the thought they might lose a vote.

And for good reason, while I disagree completely that they wont charge him, I totally understand why.

...where GA does charge him with attempted election fraud and the DOJ would expand the investigation over several states...

Or the AG would appoint a Special Prosecutor to further investigate the matter, hoping time would relieve them of the hot potato.

a. how could you ever find 12 jurors and not one of them a trumper...we know regardless of the evidence they will let him off

b. violence from righty


BTW, and I said this 6 years ago:

If there was video of him ordering the shooting of hundreds of Americans whose only crime is being Democrats...

or

If there was video of him ordering the killing of hundreds of Brown children...(maybe white too, depends on circumstances)

They would let him off and vote for him again.

I'm sure it would be highly watched.

After all, most folks thought OJ was guilty.

Pull back the scab.
