I don’t see this as “ bait “. The republicans already know that D elected leaders are not going to spearhead a response,

It’s not bait. It is a knife at our throats.
BUT, we do NEED to respond . Not step back, but thrust forward with millions on the street to defend democracy NOW!

We need a Lech Wałęsa!!!

I agree 100% about your comments in the oligarchs.

This is our only chance to shut down the hate and lies. It may be too late because the media and corporations have already chosen sides - fascism.

Thanks,
