    We’re long past the phase where congress can regain control of this. Even if they did somehow get this through the house Trump would ignore it.

    This is why the people hoping on winning midterms are misguided. He’s already taken ownership of congress’s powers when his own party runs both chambers. He won’t give it back if the democrats win.

      If your message is “don’t bother voting”, please see yourself out. We no longer have time or patience for that kind of pro-authoritarian propaganda.

        Nope. Every battle needs to be fought against the fascists. But there are a lot of people not acting now in the hopes it will save them. It won’t.

          Oh, yes in that case I agree with you, people should be getting more active.

          The best thing everyone could do is get more involved with their local politics. Far too many town councils are filled with the kind of people who run the HOAs you hear horror stories about. Their voices and choices need more competition.
