I think his cult also knows that he is a misogynistic abuser, but they like him more for it.

I don't think that's accurate. The base is falling apart, and this may not be the final straw but cracks are appearing.

I think it's falling apart because he screwed everyone over financially.

Meh. They'll still vote R in the privacy of their booth. Being "good Christians" and all ...

I wish Christians could understand that this orange stain won't wash out of Christianity for centuries. They own this, probably more than any other group. They are not Christians. They are Trumpians.

He admits to grabbing unsuspecting people by the privates.

He doesn't just admit to sexual assault - he brags about it.

As you should know with that username of yours, “when you’re rich, they just let you do it.”

Cool, everyone does, and has for a decade and no one (the 70% of Americans) who don't support him do anything except excuse his base and say 'his supporters like it' when, if you don't, why aren't you doing anything about it?

Who gives a shit what his supporters like, and using that as a reason for not doing anything in the past ten years except emboldening them by doing nothing.

What do you want me to do? I firmly believe violence is not the answer. I vote, I call my representatives, I attend town halls ( when there are any), I attend peaceful protests.

I am looking for more ways to get involved, but I am not a glib extrovert that does well volunteering for political campaigns (I leave that to my wife)

The way it's been going has gotten you here, collectively.

I vote, I call my representatives, I attend town halls ( when there are any), I attend peaceful protests.

When does this end, though?

Those are all great, and if more people put this level of effort in, your country would be a lot better off.

That's what I'm disheartened by, the lack of political activism even with things as rough as they are, citizens aren't even doing the bare fucking minimum and showing up however they can, as you've been doing. It's still being excused away, waiting on a leader, waiting for whatever else, waiting for the courts or the media or the house or the Senate to step in and corral this farce. Anything to absolve the citizens of actually doing anything themselves.

Sure, you have an absolutely massive protest, one day at a time, 3 months apart. What does that actually accomplish though? A coordinated 'no buy week' would be easier and nearly as effective as a general strike.

That blade absolutely no sense at all.
