Day 205:
You know what is really going to piss trump off?/strong>
If we all work hard to get progressive candidates elected to all levels of office this year and next year.
Just imagine the fear that will grip him if there is a progressive majority in the house. Just imagine how he will squirm when they release his tax returns, when they look into his Russian money laundering, when they impeach his dumb ass for all the many bad things he has done. Just think how sweet it would be to kick Paul Ryan out of office, or Joe Manchin, or Nancy Pelosie, Mitch McConnell, and the rest of those fuck wits. All replaced by real people fighting for things like universal health care, a higher minimum wage, free public college, renewable energy, ending the wars, and getting money out of politics.
The best part of all this is that victory for us actually improves the lives of everyone. Even the people we are fighting against.
