This is the most powerful form of protest. Never underestimate the power of sitting on your ass and doing nothing. The Broligarchs waging war on you can't survive without you. That's the irony. You make them possible.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.
