And we've got to find ways to effectively Defend Ourselves and Defend Our Elections against the coming onslaught.

As Simon Rosenberg notes today:

We cannot allow ourselves to be overwhelmed and immobilized by the "whatever it takes" onslaught they are putting in motion.

It may not sound like much, but pouring whatever dollars you can into strengthening State Democratic Parties is a CRITICAL starting place. Every dollar given now can be put to work NOW -- and that's worth a hell of a lot more than dollars given to campaigns months from now.

Support Marc Elias's efforts. They have been in high gear, but for the onslaught that is coming, it's time to go all out.

There are other ways to mobilize, with the most immediate being lobbying your Rep and Senators to support the War Powers Resolution next week and calling on others to do the same. Help flood phone lines -- particularly if you are in a Red state. If they have a FAX number, send faxes, they get noticed more than email. If you can, gather a small group together, contact the scheduler to set up a meeting with staff at the local office.

If you are dealing with a regime apologist, write a couple simple questions about why they have, and appear to be continuing to, surrender their power; why they are failing to take a stand for the nation. Get answers. Word the questions in a way that exposes how shameful their position is. Take note of the shameful rationalizations and post those on social media -- and call on others to call/write/visit to denounce the position.

I have no doubt he'll try to screw with the election. Wether he succeeds or not is up to us.

I worry sometimes when I post about what we are up against. Fear-mongering and adding negativity to the "zone" in way that immobilizes and serves the regime and its allies is always a danger. But we need to have a clear-eyed understanding of the challenges. The balancing act is finding ways to constantly renew our faith in each other and finding inspiration the actions, large and small, of so many who are standing strong for the aspirational values we share.

That he's wagging the shit out of that dog.

I guess we need to put the pressure on the magats and the criminal party since they're the only ones who can stop this short of unacceptable means.

This is dangerously more than a diversion.. Trump wants dictatorial power.

so he can take control of the elections.

Yep.............
