    Man I’d love to hear what me, a married middle aged white guy in the Midwest who’s always voted Dem (despite it mattering very little where I am) could do to stop this.

    Please tell me.

      We need to show up in DC with about a million others, and forcibly remove them from office, to take back the country and ensure the government serves the people instead of just the rich.

      It’s that simple, but organizing the effort is actually quite a challenge. Especially with the rich capturing all forms of social media, while simultaneously shutting down third spaces at every opportunity.

      Direct action is the way - nobody will swoop in to save us, and we aren’t voting our way out of this.

        Forcibly? I’m sure there are worse takes, but I just can’t think of any now.
