Let's all get in touch with our inner Ana Navarro.

Let's throw the notion of "carefully chosen words" out the window, right along with its cousin, "measured response" and instead get in the habit of telling it like it is. Republican Ana Navarro does that simply as an activity of daily living and she has caused many people to sit up and take notice.

Joy Reid flat out used the word "Leninist" today, others used "fascism" , "authoritarian", "lie", which all cut through layers of BS and got right to the point. People like (among others) Howard Dean, Keith Olbermann, Ronald Reagan Jr., and Malcom Nance don't mince words. They just call a spade a spade and don't worry about who they might irritate with the truth.

Anchors/journalists should forget measured conversations based on false equivalents while citizens should demand the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. We can't allow Donald Trump's lies to stand and we certainly must stop this March toward fascism.

RESIST!

I don't have one of those. I don't wait to speak out against GOP policies until I'm personally affected...
