Where are they?

As Trump betrays Ukraine and other US allies and forms an alliance with—and acts as an agent of—an enemy state ruled by a war criminal, where are the Democrats? Are they frozen in Mango Mussolini’s headlights? They need to act, and act now. 

And people in the general public who value democracy need to take to the streets to show that they won’t allow the US to take these reckless actions under Trump’s rule.

Are they not acting because it is not they who are being killed by the military from Trump’s friend in the Kremlin?

Americans can and should step up to do the necessary. Things need to be made so hot that Trump and hopefully his leading sycophantic minions as well decide to take the option of asylum in Russia, something which might have been discussed in those secret conversations between Trump and Putler.

America needs to return to normalcy. Waiting four years is not an option and it might not be possible at that point. This is not a Drill. Repeat, this is not a drill.
