totally fascist wet dreams, but NEARLY everything they have pushed was not just objectionable; it was outrageously harmful to our nation. So, my question is this: why are we NOT openly obstructing 99% of everything ANY Republican proposes?
S!ow walk everything; use the rules to insist on the slowest possible progress, if not total stoppage, of anything that may help Trump or his Congressional accomplices. Offer hundreds of amendments to any GOP bill whenever possible, including some calling for Trump's tax returns and an accounting for his missing inaugural fund. Throw our "sabots" into the cogs of Trump's machinery any time the opportunity presents itself.
When challenged or criticized for "obstructing", our response should be "You damn betcha! And, we'll continue to obstruct until this illegitimate White House occupant is removed by whatever means necessary!"
I'm sure the above will not sit well with some and will be seen as irrefutable proof of my naivete by others. But, is our failure to obstruct this regime not a form of tacit acceptance or normalization? Do we condone by trying to conduct "business as usual"?
