I'm sure everyone knows what's at stake already but just to quickly recap the following might happen when Trump takes office.

  • No more free and fair elections.
  • Trump may abuse his presidential immunity and order hits on his opponents
  • Weaponize the government against political opponents
  • Raise food prices and harm the economy
  • Create a humanitarian crisis by deporting so many people
  • His appointees such as Tulsi Gabbard may give our secrets to Russia.

And so much more

Yet it seems like top Democrats in office are hardly doing anything about this. I feel they have abandoned us and gave up. My list isn't even everything that could happen yet with all those bad things I'm so frustrated they don't realize what's at stake. Please I really beg of you to contact anyone you can and urge them to realize what's at stake here.

The high ranking dems don't care about people, they're rich people that are slightly less right-wing. That's the only difference between them and the more "regular" Republicans. The stuff Trump is gonna push will most likely only hit the middle and lower class, which they're not a part of. Therefore they don't give a shit.
