How the Anti-Trump Resistance Is Organizing Its Outrage
Time Magazine ^ | October 18, 2018 | Charlotte Alter

Carolyn Eberly is an unlikely warrior. A former chemist from Waxhaw, N.C., she works at the local library, plays volleyball and wears her blond hair pulled back in a big clip. Her husband has always followed politics, but Eberly used to steer away from it in polite conversation. She voted, but not much else.

Then came President Donald Trump’s election. “I felt sick to my stomach,” says Eberly, 51. She found herself at the Women’s March in Charlotte, then at rallies for immigrants, then staying up all night reading news articles posted in Facebook groups. She began to feel uncomfortable around her neighbors who voted for Trump and around her volleyball friends who didn’t seem to care about politics. The day after the Women’s March, she saw on Facebook that a woman who lived an hour away was hosting a letter-writing party to pressure local elected officials. Eberly couldn’t make it over, so the woman suggested she host her own event.

Eberly typed up an invitation. Just before she posted it on Facebook, she paused. “You ever have a premonition?” she says, sipping a smoothie at a Panera Bread near her home. “Where you think, ‘This could change my life’?”

Twelve people responded to Eberly’s post. Three showed up. And Indivisible N.C. District 9 was born. Since then, more than 1,000 people have joined either its Facebook group or its email list. In February 2018, long before there was a Democratic nominee in their House district, Eberly and her team began knocking on doors to build rapport with their neighbors and hear about their political priorities, a process called “deep canvassing.”(continued)

The clueless clucking hens are fueled by ignorance, misinformation, disinformation, and loathing for the Greatest President since George Washington.

In the future, I think historians will look back at the 2016 campaign and marvel at the mass delusion that took place when the media reported 80-90% chance of Hillary winning while Trump was drawing 10,000 -20,000 people 7-10 times a week and Hillary could barely manage a few hundred. If you just looked at that data point back then, it was obvious that Trump was the favorite. It’s amazing that something so obvious was completely ignored by the MSM. Call it group psychosis or whatever you want, but anyone who believes we live in an age of reason are kidding themselves. We laugh at the superstitions of the past, but the MSM and the left in general are as irrational as any witch trial from the middle ages.

MAGA 2018 and 2020.

Let’s get all our friends and family out to vote. I talk to people everywhere I shop and remind them to vote.

Those are some real warriors alright. A bunch of old dikes trying to relive their younger days. Maybe whore-iors but definitely not warriors.
