Because if you sit it out, Trump doesn’t just win he owns the country’s soul, and you hand him the keys.
So no, don’t stick a fork in yourself. Stick it in their complacency. Stick it in the machine that keeps pretending survival is progress. Rage is fuel ..use it.

Yes the U.S. killed people in boats merely for optics and to appease Trump.
So the U.S. killed fishermen and taxi drivers?
The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists.
They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver.

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.
Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”
