Some are rallying or marching in the streets. Others are hosting food drives, teach-ins, mutual aid pop-ups, or voter registration events. Wherever and however people show up April 19, one thing is clear: This movement is growing -- and it belongs to all of us.

Donald Trump is an actual dictator and an actual sociopath. That formula has always added up to oppression, suffering, and death.

With a little bit of luck real Americans can still hope to keep him in his cage.

But if the inevitable crisis comes no one expects you to do a damned thing.

Everyone expects you to pitch in and do your part to make the crisis worse.

You and you people.

Trump and MAGA will become the most dangerous when they feel they've been matched and stymied by the opposition.

You people will fall to the floor, chew the carpet, and order V-1s to rain down on NYC.

@#22 ... Trump and MAGA will become the most dangerous when they feel they've been matched and stymied by the opposition. ...

Exactly.

That is one reason why Pres Trump lashes out against the Judicial branch so often.

The Judicial branch has been stymieing his effort to be a dictator.

I mean, when Pres Trump's SCOTUS rules against him unanimously, a.k.a., 9-0, regarding his "no need for due process" acts ...

You have to take a step back and ask yourself, just how evil are Pres Trump acts?
