    Ironically staying home may help more than protesting as it denies Trump the ability to declare martial law due to “riots” — AKA peaceful protests turned violent by police. Basically just wait it out until midterms and hope for the best, assuming voting isn’t completely fucked by then and that people have learned from their mistakes and turn out in droves for the opposite of Trump. But you can’t tell people to stay home, they’re angry, rightfully, and want answers and their families back.

    I don’t see this getting any better. Anyone have a more optimistic take?
