Protest and resistance is going to have to get a lot more aggressive. The GOP is really going off the rails. The phony election commission is an open declaration of war on the country and must be disrupted. The message is clear that the commission is about turning the blue state red by using election fraud and illegality.
There are no good signs right now. Trump is on the war path against anyone who is not loyal to him or the GOP. The latest Trump diatribe should be clear warning that we will have to get personal and even dirty. We will have to get in the trenches and get over the "above the fray' bullshit.
Sorry folks but the direction of things is becoming incendiary. Crashing health care and killing thousands of American over some insanely cruel ideology is no better than what happened in Germany.
We are at the beginning of a really vicious political fight. Health care is the focus and Medicare and Social Security are next. We are seeing hysteria and desperation with the GOP and they are getting more dangerous and rabid.
Politically now it is anything goes after this White House lunch. The media needs to go on full frontal attack of the GOP and Trump. Not holding my breath with lame stream media.

(10,602 posts)That commission is already having an effect. At last count 4000 Coloradans unregistered to vote. Plus with all that personal information the GOP and allies can harass non GOP voters, target them personally, release their info to Russian hackers, criminals, mislead them individually with phony ads, phone calls etc. They can even hack into data bases and change their info to invalidate their registrations. All kinds of mayhem is possible.
Plus the White House is looking for ways to force ALL the states to give up the information. And the situation is very serious. Right now they are pushing for "proof of citizenship" in order to vote nationally. That requirement would mean having a passport or a "certified original birth certificate".
We are seeing a coup that makes the GOP the one party ruler of the country. The commission is targeting all the states that went for Hillary for special treatment. California is the number one target.

We are right on 99% of the issues.
But, this whole gentleman's rules shit has to go.
The problem is the "middle 1/3."
They see republicans screaming bloody murder all the time and buy the "they are all the same" bullshit while leaning to the Rs because their bullshit is all they hear.
Democrats (elected and party leaders) need to grow fucking spines and start throwing punches - Like Bernie and Warren.
They have hid in the corner for years and years now and republican still scream partisanship and all the other bullshit.

(10,602 posts)It is not just HC. It all the Cabinet members in place to take down the government institutions. Plus it is DOJ about to allow rampant lawlessness in some very important areas.
