It's maddening.... and I feel so helpless.  Yes, protest, yes, call your congressman, but I feel like I'm screaming into a goddamn void. Who is listening to the people? 

Trump doesn't care about the well being of the people who help run the country. Trump and cronies are proof of what happens when the wrong person is in power. It's being run by a bunch of rich men, and throwing their billions and millions to hush hush everyone.

Don't get down, keep screaming, even if you feel it's just into the void. Don't accept this as normal, keep helping others that got knocked down and keep putting sand into the gears of this fascist machine. It will break.

Don’t just call your Congress member. Call any of them that might possibly wake up before the roof crashes in. If you call the DC offices after hours, no one will answer so you don’t need to provide your name and address to leave a comment. I called about 12 senators on another issue last week and I think only answering message said you needed to leave your name and number (except if you wanted a call back). So your phone call will still be counted even if you’re not in their state or district. And that’s as it should be, because our members of Congress don’t just represent the literal constituents who voted them in. They work on behalf of all American citizens.

One day, even if years from now, we’re going to wake up to the news of passing. With his age probably within 10 years. Can imagine how good it’s going to feel?

No. Because he never saw any consequences for his actions. He will live the rest of his days getting away with every bad thing he did in his life. In fact, rewarded for it. There is no justice in this world.

There’s a reason your founding fathers added the right to bear arms to your constitution
