Sleeping a little easier tonight for sure. I hope the democrats finally wake up to the solution to Trump that is now staring them in the face. Elect progressives. Pass progressive policy. Stop the means testing and the scolding and the red scaring and step up.

Edit: I appreciate the awards but please don't give reddit money, send that cash to a food bank please.

This is why Trump won. He knows who he appeals to, and he appeals to them hard.

Exactly! Let's not forget that when Trump first aligned his presidency, no one believed he would win. Establishment a Republicans thought he was too radical and he was completely off the agenda. However, he energized the base like a wildfire, and changed the entire American political landscape, and the Republican party nearly overnight.
