Right turn

[Mark Thibodeau]

You do realize that in terms of raw voters, this was the second
biggest landslide since 1963, right? A full 10 plus percent more Dems
than Republicans voted. The only reason they didn't win the Senate is
because of how the states worked out.45/55 is a severe repudiation no
matter how you slice it.

As for your questions re: fighting back, that's what you guys will
have to do, I guess. You can't always pick and choose your battles. If
Trump really is meeting with I.E., then I think that speaks more to
desperation on his part than anything. Not that we shouldn't be
vigilant and ready to defend ourselves and what we believe in (and our
friends, families and allies).

Maybe it's time y'all start arming yourselves?
