I went to my Senators local offices yesterday, along with a few hundred others. We got one of them to send out a staffer to talk.
What have others here done? What have you got planned for the next few days?

America is dying with a whimper! I expected more. As a non american all I ever hear is about how americans will never be conquered. But yet, they look to have just rolled over and accepted defeat
All those guns and the only bullet fired was by a Trump supporter.
Really makes you think.
Have you seen the movie: WALL-E with all the fat people on the floating chairs?
That’s America.
We are still too comfortable.
“Comfortable”:
Where having 3 jobs doesn’t even give a proper living wage… Where a health crisis will bankrupt you… Where the common people pay the taxes for the richest. Where vacation days are tightly controlled and preferrably denied. Already the doctrine is: “You Live To Work”.
And this is before Trump started slashing all government aid and will give even more money to the rich, thinking the populace will make up the difference on the countries income…
Now he just about personally has total control of the government payment system, down to the social serurity number of each individual. A good weapon to have.
(Had a long rant here about the US’ bleak future, but it’s not befitting the discussion at this moment)
My point being, things are only a very small drop to where it’s too late and the shackles are clamped on.
The ones sworn in to uphold the law and constitution are the ones who need to step in now, but are too afraid or corrupted to risk standing up.
King Trump already is above regular checks and balances.
Not by outside forces, only from within.
But Russia has conquered you?
Kinda sorta, but not in the traditional meaning of “conquered.” They’ve enabled the worst of us to attack our democracy, but in the end it’s still Americans who have chosen to do this.
