7. Convincing the 3.5% of Republicans who fear this shitshow would be the fastest and most effective, IMO

We need to stop demonizing them, writing them off as hopeless. We need to quit feeling hopeless ourselves, and start contacting Republicans to persuade them to stop this madness.

It would take only 3.5% of them to say no to Trump's saboteur nominees, and to begin to right the ship.

I firmly believe that out of about 300 Republicans in the house and senate, there are 3.5% who can be persuaded. But we have to do the work of finding them, and appealing to their more humanitarian instincts.

It won't be done by being hateful or demeaning to them. Invite them to be heroes, not destroyers.
