They are talking about striking in the national media, a conversation started by an Alexander-Hamilton-moderate-conservative. This is it, it has hit the mainstream media and word is getting out to the people that aren't necessarily in the 50501, and like organizations, loop.

I've been seeing this guy for longer than I care to remember. He never called out Bush Jr. for lying us into an endless war for oil, or stood up to racist attacks against Obama.

Proof that they only scream when they are getting stabbed themselves.

On the other hand, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and any one who is against Trump now is welcome.

Maxim 29: The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more. No less.

That doesn't mean you can't work with them on a common cause, and maybe even show them the benefits of your way if thinking, but don't get caught out when they turn on you.

We got here because there were enough fascist supporters and apathetic nonparticipants to defeat the equity and equality supporters in an election.

We didn't get here because people crossed the aisle to the fascist side.
