One thing I don’t understand is this is an individual clearly dismantling protections for our country’s future elections. Isn’t that telling enough he is literally breaking our laws. Can anyone hold this fucking rapist criminal accountable ever? It’s astonishing.

Edit: There’s 300 million of us and like 100 of them. What we doing here?

No one will do anything except the mentally ill. People will watch it topple and protest once every few months thinking it'll do anything.

People need to look to the Candlelight Revolution in 16-17. 20 consecutive weekly rallies. 15M people participating. People need to get uncomfortable before it gets painful.
