The American people now see Trump for who he is — a would-be dictator who does not care what Americans think or want, cares nothing about our Constitution or our laws, and sees himself as a kind of eighteenth-century king, with unlimited power to drag us into wars without the consent of the people.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m doing enough to fight the fascist takeover of our country. But then I’m reminded that every action matters, and builds momentum for the next action.
Attend that protest. Sign a petition. Chip in to a campaign. Send those texts. Make calls. Knock on doors. VOTE! It matters.
