If you’re reading this, and you’re an American, it’s on you to actually be a counterweight to this. That means:

  • Make sure you’re registered to vote — you’ll need to register for the first time if you turned 18, and will need to update yours if you moved, changed name, or simply had your registration purged by Republican officials
  • Volunteer. Phone banking and such are help, but if you’re able to, travel to volunteer in-person and talk to people.
  • Donate. Give what’s ok for you, not more. If you’re well-off enough to show up for an in-person fundraiser and tell officials why you’re donating, that’s amazing.

      And it’s money for him to spend in (hopefully) the last few years of his life. Like the guy has to be close to croaking and he wants to go out taking everyone with him.

      Yes of course he is. This is the guy who has consistently chosen to sell out his marriages (and actively harm his family) for the sake of an orgasm. When presented with the choice to do the right thing, or do the thing that provides some immediate, fleeting gratification, he has chosen the latter every time with no regard for how damaging that may be.
