The sheer malevolent incompetence of the Malignant Fascist's chaotic, democracy-and-economy destroying, Epstein-Trump file diversionary-war- waging regime has broken through to some of the least likely people, who are making their voices heard:
A few years ago, Allison Posner was barely involved in politics.
Now the 42-year-old mother of two from Maplewood, New Jersey, hands out food and diapers to immigrant families outside a nearby detention facility. She waves signs on a highway overpass in between school pickups and orthodontist appointments. And this weekend, she’ll lead a “No Kings” protest march across this affluent town alongside her husband, her children and thousands of others who are convinced that President Donald Trump represents a direct threat to American democracy.
“The people in the suburbs are definitely radicalizing,” said Posner, a freelance actor.
A growing faction of concerned citizens living in suburban communities across the United States — places once known for political moderation or even conservatism — are increasingly positioned on the front lines of the anti-Trump resistance. More than a year into the Republican president’s second term, the so-called “soccer moms” are becoming bona fide activists taking to their well-manicured streets to fight Trump and his allies.
The leftward lurch could cost Republicans control of Congress for the president’s final two years in office. It could also reshape the Democratic Party by elevating a fresh crop of fiery progressive candidates emboldened to push back against the Trump administration more aggressively than the establishment may prefer.
Indivisible, the activist organization spearheading the third round of No Kings protests this weekend, said roughly two-thirds of more than 3,000 planned demonstrations will be held outside urban areas. Overall, more than 9 million people are expected to turn out nationwide for what leaders predict will be the largest single day of protesting in U.S. history.
“We’re going to be everywhere,” said Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin.
Organizers said sign-ups have been especially enthusiastic in suburban areas with high-profile congressional races like Scottsdale, Arizona; Langhorne, Pennsylvania; East Cobb, Georgia; and here in northern New Jersey’s 11th district, which holds a special election April 7... (our emphasis)
Of course, resistance to the Malignant Fascist must delivered in its most tangible form -- a wipeout of MAGAts in the mid- term elections. The broader and deeper the Republican defeat, the less likely the MF and his spineless Congressional trolls would attempt an electoral coup by crying fraud and "cancelling" the results. A popular vote smackdown of the Republicans will make them think twice about that lurch across the Rubicon.
Showing up at your local No Kings protest on Saturday is a necessary part of taking the fight to the MF and his un-American MAGA movement.
