His attacks on the judiciary, undisguised attempts to suppress the media; manipulation of the legislative branch; interference in the economy - this is a president openly meddling in the affairs of private companies by using his position to decide which business will succeed which will fail; his dismal human rights actions - suppressing attacking desiring to deport an entire group of human beings because of their religion; all of it amounts to something much different than democracy.

I'll go with it again - far too many before us have given their all to provide and protect our way of life. You, me none of us has the right to turn our back on this and let it go. What is happening is wrong, and on a scale that threatens the whole ballgame. If you cannot see that then you are in a trance, stupid, or actually blind. To stand idly by like a bunch of mindless bobbly-head dolls is treasonous, it is being activity Anti-American. You are part of putting all of us into harms way.
To support Trump is to oppose America.
To not oppose Trump - is to oppose America.
To not oppose Trump - is to oppose America.
If it does all go to pieces tomorrow, if it turns out the wacky old guy who wouldn't shut up (me) was right and you wonder who to blame - look in the mirror. It will have been you who stood by and did nothing as it happened. History will show, it was you who did it.
