It's become pretty clear over the last 10 months that no one is coming to save us. The Founders never envisioned a situation in which the Article I branch of government completely abrogated its responsibility and turned everything over to the executive. And while the lower courts have, by and large, performed generally admirably in curbing Benedict Donald, the Supreme Court is 6-3 Trumpy. That's life.
So we can take to the streets, like we've been doing with No Kings, and we can vote. (Yes, Republicans are trying to gerrymander us all to death and make voting more difficult. But they're not there yet.)
Last weekend's No Kings rallies were terrific — so much so that they obviously drove Trump into a rage. Now, the anti-Trump forces are using this time between rallies to coalesce all the groups that turned out on October 18 into one massive organization. These efforts will bring us closer and closer to the 3.5 percent needed to topple this Administration. Considering Donald's behavior in just the last week, reaching that threshold could very happen before next November.
Meanwhile, we have elections next month. Here in New York, Early Voting begins tomorrow. It's also the deadline for New Yorkers to register to vote for the general election and to request an Early Mail or Absentee ballot. After the Sex Pest was officially endorsed by Mr. Corruption in the New York Mayor's race, we hope that voters in the city know the schedule to register or early vote. (For our part, we intend to turn out for Democrats in our own municipal elections upstate.)
Wherever you're registered, the point is, make your voice heard early so that campaigns can focus on lower-propensity voters between now and November 4. As we said, we are the only ones who can save us. (Or, as Barack Obama quoted — and for which he got mocked by the corporate media — we are the ones we've been waiting for.) We cats PURR.
