A request from an old DU'er (me!) Stop saying "they're trying to destroy the country" [View all]

Hell yes, they are purposely trying to destroy the country. That's what Trump has intended all along. We should no longer be surprised by that. Yes, it's truly unbelievable! But it is happening right in front of our eyes.

So, let's accept THAT part, stop dwelling on the surprise, and figure out a way to combat it! The days of innocence are over.

We are literally in a war for the fight for our way of life. We have got to accept that and act accordingly.

And before any sanctimonious person complains - NO, I am not advocating violence. I'm just asking that we accept the current circumstances and figure out what we are going to do about it. The protests are a start as long as they remain respectful and peaceful. The town halls are awesome where constituents are making demands and insisting on being heard. Countering lies and mistruths on social media with facts and truth is a good way.

But we need more ACTION!!!
