What are we to do against the powerful Tr*mp/right wing machinery of lies and propaganda? Reason is powerless against it. The truth is powerless. Those in its thrall will not be persuaded by facts, data, or indeed reality in any of its forms. We know for sure that Tr*mp and even the loudest of his enablers--especially the loudest of his enablers--will not lose a single vote in November to further public exposure of the man's venality or his incompetence.
So let's not waste another breath attempting to expose Tr*mp and his administration for the bumbling grifters they so plainly are. Leave to them the task of further revealing to the world their incompetence and their betrayal of every value America has stood for in the past.
Let's us, instead, concentrate all our efforts on three absolutely essential priorities:
1) Discarding petty personal preferences and grievances and uniting in support of every Democratic candidate for local and national office with our voices and whatever money we can possibly afford;
2) Getting every last remaining uncontaminated voter to the polls, whether Democrat or Republican; and
3) Persuading those among us who are disenchanted, discouraged, cynical or apathetic that their failure to show up and be counted at the polls will only serve to increase their disenchantment, discouragement, cynicism or apathy. Not voting is a vote for the status quo.
Let Tr*mp defeat himself. For the rest of us it should be: Onward, to November!
