I'm not a violent person. I've never owned any firearms and I never will. Thing is, I have this seething hatred of Donald Trump. Maybe this is how others felt about Hillary. I think he'll be a disastrous president -- but even if I'm wrong I'll most likely always have the same feeling about him and the vile, bigoted, campaign he ran.
What can we do about it? Stay informed. Stay angry. If the GOP succeeds in dismantling things like Obamacare and Medicare, then make sure the GOP owns it and the voter backlash that follows.
We could ask those most qualified, the 8 sitting justices of the Supreme Court, to write the amendment.
Sometimes it is strange crises which force progress. Bring the United States forward out of the 19th Century.
Otherwise with this claim of weekly contact with Russians and the FBI announcements, it's "What did Trump know and when did he know it?" As it will be necessary to impeach him and require the same congressional 2/3rds.
Obama missed his FDR moment when he failed to nationalize or even re-regulate the banks. Well now on his way out he can have an even greater moment by finally fixing our system so that every vote counts, and averting a disaster of epic proportions.
Governing the most powerful nation in the world is nothing like a sporting match, as the stakes are so much higher. We all need therefore to think very hard about what is needed, and then do it.
