They way to defeat this is to keep winning elections, and make sure these people get reminded of the law.

As long as Limbaugh and Faux News and other similar bad actors flood the airwaves and the internet, winning elections won’t be sufficient. After all we won it all in 2008, but the poison became more toxic. We need some way to change the messaging that infects too many of our fellow citizens. Unfortunately, religion has proved not to be the answer — if it were, the evangelicals would never have flocked to Trump and supported his vile temperament and rhetoric. Can messages of love, tolerance, and compassion actually overcome competing messages of hatred, cruelty, and intolerance — or do messages of hate drown out softer, kinder words? I don’t know what it takes to awaken the millions of our citizens from the spell that Trump and the GOP has placed on them.
