Please call your member in the House of Representatives and ask why they aren’t already listed as supporting Trump’s long overdue articles of impeachment that were introduced on Monday. It’s already Wednesday.

    It’s not just their jobs they’re worried about; politicians who oppose Trump have been getting a lot of death threats and such lately.

    In order for them to stand up to Trump, they need to become more scared of the rest of us than they are of stochastic terrorist MAGAs.

        You misunderstand my purpose. I didn’t write that to try to excuse their behavior; I wrote it to explain how to force them to change it.

        It needs to be demonstrated to them that collaborating with fascists is more personally dangerous to them than resisting is.

          That’s why that Parkland dude’s warning/suggestion of primary-ing do-nothing Democrats is being met with such vitriol by Dems. That’s what needs to happen. They need to fear losing whatever power the may have right now. We need to primary every Democrat that gave the thumbs up to tRump’s cabinet picks and a middle finger to the rest of us.

            That’s still not the kind of fear I’m talking about, but sure, that too.

      And I definitely get that. But at the same time they are all individually scared of the same thing yet they don’t work together and do something about this.
