      Stormy Daniels could have disappeared very quietly. She chose to be a witness instead, and Trump has borne the fallout from that case seeing the light of day.

      Look at all the #MeToo abusers who fell from power and public favor - their behavior was “known” publicly in their industry but not widely across the country - and so they remained in positions of power and influence to continue that abuse.

      When has a MAGA fanatic gone out and attacked an individual that crossed Trump? I’m sure it’s happened, but I can’t think of a single incident. Does Pelosi’s husband count? That felt more like a, “kill libs” thing, and she was a much higher profile target than you and I ever will be.

      I’d press charges, be scared shitless and have guns salted around the house like Easter eggs. My kids would be staying inside unless we drove away to get outdoors. And my wife’s pistol training would go from, “how to have fun safely” to “here’s how self-defense works”.

      Shitty way to live? You fucking bet, but it would only be temporary, soon forgotten. A Trump Presidency would be permanent.

      If Trump wins in November do you think he will spare your family that you protected by not teaching him a lesson?

      Do you not think its cowardly to not stand up for your fellow citizens and instead stand for only yourself?

      It’s like Hurricane Katrina all over again. “Just leave the poors to suffer, fuck em, we are rich and escaped so who cares.”

      USA if falling apart because everyone cares about their own skins more than the collective.

        SO…you WOULD get your children killed so a Trump staffer gets a slap on the wrist? How does that help the collective again?

          The fact that no one even considers organizing in reverse to protect this person against the crazies is really revealing, you know.

          Black Panthers started because they knew they couldn’t trust external forces to protect them.

          Glad to know none of y’all will stand up for this persons family, and instead think them standing up to this would equal “killing their own kids” instead of you giving an inch and helping protect them.

            You’re the one calling her a coward. How is that protecting her? Start organizing and I’ll join you. Keep calling her a coward for refusing to step up with no protection and I’ll know you’re a hypocrite.

              Okay, let’s do it. How would you like to go about organizing? A GoFund me to fund people who can go there and stay vigilant? A meetup group or a change.org petition to get people aware of it? Both?

              I’m being serious.

                I don’t know, man. If you start a gofundme I’ll donate, but in reality you’d need a mutual aid movement like the black panthers to protect against these militarized fascist thugs. Calling her a coward is bullshit, we can’t demand other people step up for martyrdom.
