Trump's lies and cruelty fueled a real resistance. There's hope for progressivism.

"Many of Trump's opponents have not reacted as if nothing matters. Instead, they've responded with outrage, protest and greater engagement. This energy, if sustained, has the potential, at least, to transform the country long after Trump is gone.

"This new activism has resulted in some clear victories. Protests and call-in campaigns helped defeat Republican efforts in 2017 to repeal Obama's Affordable Care Act.

"Resistance organizing and voting also helped hand Trump and the Republicans stinging defeats in elections in 2017 and 2018. In the midterms, Democrats took back the House in a wave election; they won more seats than in any election since 1974. And in the just concluded 2019 election, Democrats won control of the Virginia government for the first time in more than a quarter century."

Virginia and Wisconsin Democrats were bribed by corporations and both are refusing to repeal anti-union laws... while the mobilization of voters is hopeful the actions of incumbents are likely to cause another wave of apathy

We must keep up the momentum. If trump wins another term the country might not survive.

One can hope, but I am not so sanguine. The recidivist in the WH needs to go.
