Mastersnemisis predicts US will be smoldering ruin

My Take Is That Protests Won't Do Any Good In The End. US As We Know It Will Be Smoldering Ruins.
Everywhere I survey on the net the conservatives and GOP are determined to basically dismantle the entire federal government and turn it over to corporations and the religious right. In fact conservatives and the GOP are privately overjoyed and laughing about really killing 43,000 people a year due to no access to medical care. And 43,000 is conservative. I believe the country will end up in desperate shape unless we can obstruct them somehow.

I do not see any sign of the GOP cracking on their entire agenda. And if you watch Trump and his cronies they are starting to mock the opposition. So I do not know what we do at this point. All I know is that you cannot find a Republican legislator in sight. They are now well into their bunkers.

In Colorado we are getting no response. And if you show up at one of their offices to demonstrate you will get arrested. The electorate is being locked out no matter where you look. With no press to challenge Trump and his lackeys we are in tough shape.

By the time we reach 2018 we WON'T NEED A MILITARY TO PROTECT US. The country will be gone. And anyone in the military will be risking their lives to protect JUST THE RICH AND WEALTHY protected by a totalitarian GOP.

I just want to slap Trump voters silly for what they have done to all of us. I know I have been rightly accused of being pessimistic and on a downer. Lord knows I want like hell to be optimistic and hopeful, but it is so hard after watching the decline since Reagan.

Now I really hope I am wrong and things swing around. I just do not see a lot of movement and I see new completely outragious initiatives appear every day from the state to the national level. And I see no opposition of value from the MSM.

1. What if. the greatest generation responded to the Nazi and Pearl Harbor with this attitude.

You are falling into their trap. What if the Brits and the French resistance responded this way or
our revolutionary ancestors? Where would we be. Have courage and know you are one of million
who want to save our country.

We are nazis!!!!

3. What I Am Saying Is The Resistance Is Going To Have To Double Down On Them.

These legislators are going to have to not be able to go out in public without someone hounding them. There town halls are going to have to be over run with opposition and challenge. They will have to be cornered and forced to answer. Protests will have to be peaceful but forceful and louder. We have to be willing to shout them down and challenge their rhetoric on the spot.

It is too bad the media does not get combative and mock the press conferences.

5. Nobody said this would be easy.

We have gotten used to easy. We have lived soft lives. Now we are tested as have other generations.
There are unique challenges to our test. Your original post sounded defeatist. Maybe you are,
like many of us fearful. Fear in the face of danger is normal. We must take courage from one another
and from our values. We must encourage each other and trust that our values will sustain us as
others have. Do you think that those who hid the Jews in Germany were not afraid or the Brits
under the Blitz or the Syrian peoples today?

MN is defeatists!!!!

There has to be a way to rattle them and get them off their game. The opposition has to be like a mama bear whose cubs are threatened. And the protests have to be such that the media cannot ignore.

Oh my. We all a-scared.

9. Your post makes me optimistic.

I saw many on the right stating very similar doomsday predictions about Obama. Eight years later we got Trump. Let's beat them and turn it around in four.

Quit raining on my doomsday parade, damnit!!!

16. It will be the Guardian and

New York Times that will break Trump. CNN is ramping up a Special Investigative Unit,but,don't think they have the balls to take on Trump after their all in during August November time frame. Comcast/NBC/MSNBC/CNBC are going hard right to try and steel the NAZI crowd away from Fox.

Disney/ABC as well as CBS has drifted more and more Right Wing and being a listener for certain descriptive phrasing,the floor Producers and Script Writers are going more and more in that direction.

NY Times gonna break Trump!!!!!  ABC and CBS are right wing?

13. I Sorry I Am Not Terribly Rich. <<<< BWAWAHAHA

I Would Get The Home Addresses And Private Phones Of GOPPERS. 

I would post private information of GOP legislators everywhere on the net or I would flood their private residences with protest mail and jam their home phones. I would push to have demonstrations right outside of their gated communities or their homes. They would have no place to hide.

I would pursue all legal means to harass them. And I would put of some really nasty and brutal bill boards in their districts. I would be out to make sure they were scare to even show their face anywhere.

You will sit home and type impotently on your keyboard is what you will do.

17. Some of the means you propound

may not be legal in your state, but do what you wish.

As for me, I'm doing what I can do and I am optimistic AND suspicious of anyone who tries to demoralize the rest of us

Heretic!!!!

26. It was protests...

that led to the end of the Vietnam War...

If these protests continue to build to a fever pitch, they will be effective.

Get out in the streets and protest!!! Burn this bitch down!!!!

That is it for now.  Might grow.  Might not since the USSC nomination was announced.

Well that is different than my way. I like to put a 30-06 above your head "And Scare The Shit Out Of Them." But I can drop one MOA for you.

You think that, somehow, you're going to spark a Tea Party moment.  Bob, ...... Bob....  the Tea Party, of which we still and will remain, is a movement of adults, not petulant infants.  You don't get inside our heads.  We pat you on yours, until you grow up.  If not?

You're on your own.   No more toys.  Grow up, or die.

[Undies]

What if we normal people get tired of putting up with your crap and, tired of pretending you matter and, just go ahead and beat the living sh*t out of you?

The big difference is that The Tea Party has the founding documents to form our base and state our case.  All they have is the communist manifesto and they can't even follow that.

Gee, what could go wrong?

Kind of like the Palin email hacker, posting Sarah Palin's private information online and enabling psychos to stalk and threaten her daughters.

" I would push to have demonstrations right outside of their gated communities or their homes. They would have no place to hide.

Ah, tormenting and harassing people for daring to disagree with you. Wonderful idea, Bob, you're sure to win voters to your side that way.

I will tell you Bob, it is hard to be scared of someone whose master plans can be stymied by a lack of wheelchair access.

That already happened, you moron.  The response was November 8, when people who had the shit scared out of them that a bunch of idiots like YOU would continue to be in charge of the country's ruination stampeded to the polls and voted "hell no."

In most jurisdictions, that's called "stalking," you fool, and I highly recommend that you do it, because it would be most amusing, and quite satisfying, watching you be someone's bitch in prison.
