Yea, I have a few friends and family in the States who absolutely care very much about what’s happening. From what they’re telling me, when they’re not busy at work and looking after their families, they’re currently spending a lot of their free time doing what they can by calling/emailing their representatives, showing up at town halls, and helping to organize and participate in rallies & protests etc… And we are finally starting to see some of that stuff happening around the U.S. I believe there’s a huge rally happening in DC this weekend.
The hope is that they can raise enough hell to at least try and buy them some time until the mid-terms. But I’m skeptical. The Dems are essentially powerless right now without holding the House or the Senate. And I feel like by the time we get to the mid-terms, the country will be in complete tatters and the elections will be either heavily rigged in favour of the GOP, or the Trump administration will just try to cancel elections entirely. Perhaps that might finally be a line that some Republicans just won’t cross? Who knows.
