4. No, they haven't. They don't want to. For all that some are speaking out now, they'll soon turn tail.

These are rich people, remember. They are not us. If it's to their benefit to do whatever Trump wants, they will. They're only looking towards their reelection at the moment, so they say what they have to to get our votes. Then they'll be doing the Trump Suck just like the rest of them.

Frankly, I don't trust these people right now. I've seen them do stupid things, stay silent, tell us it's not our time, throw gays under the bus, throw women under the bus, throw children under the bus. We are nothing to them, anymore than the MAGA idiots mean anything to the Republicans other than when it's time to vote.

Until we show them different. The people of Portland learned this. The people of Chicago are learning this. Until we stand up and tell them we won't accept their spineless behavior, nothing will change.
