TC, you wrote, "Donald Trump’s entire life is about revenge. He has spent his life with his nose pressed against the glass, staring at the world he wants to join, knowing that so long as anyone on the other side of that glass is alive, the door will never be opened; he will never be invited in. His list of those who will pay includes everyone he has ever seen on the other side of the glass."

The thought that came to mind was this - not only was this a world he wanted to join, it was a world he wanted to OWN and a world whose ADORATION he coveted.

I don't know if you agree with this, but it seems to me that he also has on that list every person, every organization, every entity, every anything that he can't OWN or that doesn't kowtow to him in some way.

I'm on the leadership of our red-County, Virginia Democratic Committee and a contributor to our local Indivisible page. Since Virginia's fantastic Democratic election victories (control of both chambers), we have begun to demand that our local officials (all Rs) disavow Trump. They're in safe seats; getting off the Trump train now will cost them nothing politically. They admit privately that Trump is a criminal and despot. Such cowards.

IMO, if low level Republicans with nothing to lose don't start telling the truth, their fascists base will never see the light.

We're hitting that message - a demand, not an ask - at least once a week until these hypocrites decide to support democracy.

We're not just on FB, but writing Letters to the Editor of our local paper (we still have a local paper). Every one us must push this message wherever we're able to do so.
