Every step we take, small or large, makes a differnece. We have to believe in ourselves, and once we do, others will believe in us too. You can be afraid, but also be courageous at the same time. Sometimes it is the fear, along with the courage, that leads us to the destiny of making those differences in our lives that we have always wanted to make. We can, if we put our minds to it, overcome our fears if we let our courageous side in a little more than the fearful side. If I, as an extreme introvert can do it, anyone can.

How do we organize a national strike? I think that’s the next logical move. Organized labor may be the key.

Not being an American, changing gun laws just seems the logical step to stop these mass shootings. Other countries successfully created change.

It’s not even what it meant in the Constitution (cue eye-roll). No-one, outside of the military (and even that’s debatable), needs access to a semi-automatic weapon for a start. In my opinion and many others anyway.

Imagine being such a low life, racist, bigot scumbag that you have sold your own country, countrymen, truth, decency and respect for humanity to the side to prop up a rapist, convicted felon who we know is going to go to jail. This is who you are. When this dust settles I’m going to slip through the back door and take you out for the world to witness and take part in. We are going to end this fucking nightmare ASAP. It’s coming! You might be trumps cunt now, but soon you’ll be OURS. I’m coming to rip your life apart and slam truth up your ass. I’m going to fucking destroy you.

That’s right - fight hate with hate (cue eye-roll again).
