    I want to see results in actual polls that matter: people voting and supporting candidates that disagree with his values.

    It’s true that there have been some impressive wins in some elections, but at least in my state, it remains an intense Republican stronghold. Believe me, I’d love for that to change, but it seems highly unlikely. Support remains overwhelming in the only way that matters and that is continuing control by the party because voters still feel confident enough in Republicans. Hence, my family is planning on moving out of state to someplace that aligns better with the our values. I don’t appreciate threatening members of my family as part of their political rhetoric.

    I want to see a firm and unequivocal rejection of his hateful and self-destructive values through voting and protests. This is what I expect to see. It’s not nearly enough.

      You mean the “polls that matter” are elections?

      And I’m assuming all the special elections don’t count (whatever that reason is) because those show what you’re looking for…

      Midterms are about to happen, and I’m sure after that you’ll have shiny new goalposts.

      And you think “protests” matter?

      Like, in your head if only X amount of Americans say it, trump will listen?

      You have no fucking idea about what you’re talking about.

      Which is fine, fucking normal even.

      But instead of asking questions so you can learn,you just keep making weird demands to people who will never see them.
