I firmly believe a pivotal moment that breaks the fever of Trumpism will come

24. "My conclusion is that there will be a tipping point"

When a tipping point is reached, it is often hindsight that attributes the rapid upending of the balance to a specific event. Whether or not that event was actually casual is debatable.

I do know that real stories about the effect of some action on real human beings reaches hearts and minds. Highlighting the abuse and arbitrary firings of the people who serve us is powerful. And can be even more powerful in the right context. At this juncture, that context must be a clear reminder of fundamental values and principles and condemnation of the crimes against us -- that with those firings and agency closures the trump administration is committing crimes that upend our constitutional order.

I think the most effective vehicle for the latter is the type of joint House/Senate "Letter to America" Simon Rosenberg is advocating.
