Maine Governor Janet Mills stands up to Trump in a room full of reporters.

Officials must keep showing people Trump is a weak tyrant. We need to show defiance collectively, because like all bullies, with pushback he will snap & break.

1. The medicine
2. The disease it needs to cure

If we can't control our own fears, we won't think rationally or critically in this crisis.

The weakest men in the country can - sadly - control us through our fear, our apathy, our voluntary submission, and our anxiety response.

People in these broke red states soon won’t have jobs.. the recession is coming and which states pay for their welfare checks? California.. New York.. see a pattern there?
Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"
