We are not alone.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54353238365_55cb3a2fca_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You have likely seen republican congressmen being filmed in meetings with red constituents where the first 30 days of Trump are not going down well. This is what I describe as &#8220;coming to pass.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For forty years Republicans purged independent thinkers and I expected the party was ripe picking for a huckster. I predicted this day in 1992 when I told booing Republicans that Donald Trump was the future of the Party: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Not-Your-Usual-Republican-Lincoln\/dp\/B0D575CVTC\">I wrote a book about it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The last post was about Trump&#8217;s sheep. This one is about becoming wolves to stop his savaging of our democracy. Indivisible is just a start. <\/p>\n<p>There is a petition circulating asking Congressman Pete Stauber to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petitions.net\/pete_stauber_town_hall_request\">face his own constituents in a town hall meeting<\/a> to answer questions. Sign it.<\/p>\n<p>And you and others should contact Congressman Stauber.
