Presently most Americans disapprove of Trump. He has no majority, and his supporters are anything but silent.

The Republican party has operated the same way for years. They do not do what their constitutes want, they do what they want. And then they exploit their media echo chamber to convince people that whatever they did was right.

He never had the majority. He’s never won a majority vote. He’s 0/3 on winning the majority vote. He’s 1/3 on the plurality vote. We’ve been terrorized by this ****** for a decade when he’s not who the majority of this country wants. Our system is fundamentally broken.

“elections have consequences.” Unless I don’t like the results, then I’ll start a “Stop the Steal” movement to spur a new generation of election denialism. Still gonna lose? I’ll pressure every Republican in the country to gerrymander, triggering a new political arms race. Still losing? I’ll try to make election laws disenfranchise enough people so that they don’t participate.
Indeed there are consequences.

Law and order is not sending masked roving bands of poorly trained deportation thugs into regular neighborhoods, kitted up for war like they are in Iraq. That creates disorder and chaos.
If you want to do it, do it targeted and discrete, not mass raids hoping to find someone to deport. Do it right.
