In reply to the discussion: Show of hands. Did anyone here NOT BELIEVE that Trump would eventually cause physical harm to Democratic politicians? [View all]slightlv
(7,816 posts)but we're not an organized group to do anything. We're several disorganized groups and individuals. Goals are more likely to be achieved when there's an organized group to gather around, and a leader who listens to all, but makes decisions and acts. That's why the coup happened so easily and in plain sight. The R's had been planning this since at least Nixon was in office. And each election they moved closer and closer to achieving their goals.
Our problem is not only are Democrats not an organized group with a charismatic, active leader willing to put everything on the line for the country, but we're time-constrained, too. What R's took decades to achieve, we have weeks... months. A midterm election, if we're lucky. The lines have been drawn in the sand over and over, and the R's just say "make me". What do you do beyond what we're all trying to do right now?
