9. I suspect this is the long-term plan of No Kings

Thursday

With every outrage, with every American city and state invaded, I think we'll see bigger numbers and sustained activity. I have no doubt this is the reason, Trump is calling for investigations of any and all Democratic organizations to impede the funding and mechanics of putting together these mass People Protests. I caught a clip of the mayor of Chicago calling for a general worker's strike. Think this, too, will materialize in the future as Trump and his Flying Monkey Brigade ratchet up the abuse on our streets, wreck the economy and make everyone's life miserable while they live like entitled pricks.

Trump is counting on chaos and division to overpower the American population. Every act of bad faith is provoking a reaction of raw anger. Agent Orange and his goons want us afraid and cowering.

That's not happening at the moment. Peaceful, sustained protest is the path forward. Throwing as much sand in the gears as possible is the task of our democratic representatives in DC.

These are the tools we have. We need to use them well.
