Conservative republican columnist and journalist David F*ing Brooks is sounding the alarm and calling for a united, coordinated uprising against Mad King Donald and his administration.

What is happening now is not normal politics. We’re seeing an assault on the fundamental institutions of our civic life, things we should all swear loyalty to — Democrat, independent or Republican.

It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans in universities, law, business, nonprofits and the scientific community, and civil servants and beyond to form one coordinated mass movement. Trump is about power. The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possesses rival power.

Brooks calls for lawsuits, mass rallies, strikes, work slowdowns, boycotts and other forms of noncooperation and resistance -- even an antifascist general strike.

Hey Dope1, LurkerMom, BigHairyMike, and you others... if David F*ing Brooks has seen the light, maybe it's time to reconsider why you remain on the wrong side of history, favoring fascism instead of democracy.
