Political violence thrives on one poisonous lie: that ordinary people are powerless. A passionate call to defend democracy and reject violence—differences with Trump and his Republican allies must be settled at the ballot box, through law, and people-powered advocacy to protect the freedom to disagree.
I am for the people power but tell me where the guardrails are today? The truth is: there are none. Trump and his regime are changing the laws as they see fit. Restricting our freedom of speech, especially if it's against Trump, restricting our right to protest-with the threat of arrest, and the list goes on. The guardrails that were once there to protect all of us, are now gone. Innocent people are getting rounded up and thrown into detention centers in the US. It doesn't feel like we have much people power left-communicating to your House or Senate member is a waste, especially if they happen to be Republican, because they enabling Trump at every turn. Just a very scared and concerned PPU volunteer. Ron Purnell
You're so right about that, but I think that the real threat is the Republicans!! The Democrats seem to be following the rules, but like you said the Republicans do enable Donald Trump and he's the real threat!!
I hear you. It is scary but we can not give into bullies. I am seeing people showing up, speaking out, and engaging now more than ever. My hope is we replace the cowardice of leaders who sit in Congress and fail to respond or represent their constituents by electing people power centered leaders. It's not going to be easy, but we can do it. And thank you for your advocacy Ron! Keep making good trouble.
This is 100% None are safe.
