This is a long shot, for actually doing anything…but you can sign a petition to the US Electoral College to recast or overturn their votes for Trump. They have a little over a month. Try this site, for more information.
Clinton won the popular vote, but not the Electoral. Hmm. When have we seen this before, recently? Oh yes, in 2000. And it was a Republican-engineered takeover then, too.
And we ALL saw how eight years of the Cheney/Bush White House worked out.
Trump is magnitudes more unfit for office than George W. Bush. He’ll not only make America more of an international pariah state and laughingstock, he’ll endanger our livelihoods and our lives. His mere victory has emboldened the alt-right thugs who helped drive his campaign, and he’s shown no sign, willingness, or ability to repudiate them.
Maybe our voices can’t coax the members of the Electoral College to save America from a Trump regime…but it can signal that we’re here, we’re not going away, and we can play the obstructionist long game, too.
Sign the petition for that reason, at least, and pass it on to people who feel the same way.
It’s been a week, and I still can’t quite believe it.
Meh. Never underestimate the self-destructive tendencies of the angry, resentful, and afraid. We were doing slightly better, as a race. I think we’ll be backsliding now.
