The number of notes on that post advocating to not pursue an impeachment of Trump due to Pence is actually horrifying.
1. Pence is running things anyway. Showing the public the man behind the curtain is quite crucial. Remember, when Trump offered vp to Kasich, he told him he’d be in charge of both domestic and foreign affairs.
2. Trump’s temperament is likely to have extremely negative geopolitical consequences in a way that Pence’s wouldn’t. Who do you see as more likely to engage in a ground war along with Russia? Trump already talked about invading Iraq again. And this isn’t touching the nuclear arsenal thing.
3. Pence is not popular in Congress at all. A republican who is hugely hated in Indiana does not really have a ton of political capital, especially since he tanked their economy. A lot of the reason GOP swung to Trump late is because *he* was the charismatic face that was creating this supposed populist “movement” (the marches sort of knocked the wind out of that a little). It’s Trump that is being held up, and it’s Trump specifically the neonazis are looking towards (Bannon wrote his fucking inaugural address). We need Trump, the man, to go ASAP for that reason.
Pence will be our worst president, but he’ll be survivable, he’ll have no chance at reelection, and seeing as he’s already most definitely the one driving policy (Dep of Ed pick was his, almost without question, for instance), we at least need to have that recognized so he can be held accountable.
Pence is not the “real Hitler.” Authoritarian movements prop up one person. In this case it was Trump. The MAGA hats have jack-all to do with Pence, and exceedingly little to do with policy. Which is why Trump, specifically, is the threat to our democracy.

This isn’t alarmist. An entire field of study was just shut down with no debate. And there’s a gag-order for staffers.

Nazis are currently organizing and funding a bounty against the famous Nazi puncher.
A BOUNTY
If anyone actually knows this guy’s identity, you keep it to your goddamn self because they are going to kill this man.
This is why you keep yourself anonymous. This is why you cover your face. This is why you don’t publish pictures of you engaging in anti-fascist activities on the internet for everyone to see.
These people want you dead, point blank period. Between them and the Feds, you are not safe. This shit is not a game.
I just started a petition to get WeSearchr banned from Twitter. Please click the link here to sign and help keep this man and other people safe.
Boost this petition, WeSearchr should not be a thing
Hey everyone, this is very important please sign if you can. ALSO!!! If you sign it make sure to uncheck the box that says “display my name and comment” if you don’t want your name shared. I highly recommend not sharing your name on this petition. Stay safe everyone
So I just checked and they are suspended, good job everyone!
(If you search ‘
WeSearchr
‘ on twitter, there are so many Nazi’s butthurt about them getting banned. XD)
hey kids we’re living in a fascist regime
This is a very cool resource for people who want to fight back but aren’t sure how.
reblogging for the swingleft.org link. It’s a really great, easy to use/understand resource
One of the most devastating things to realize is that, if we woke up tomorrow and discovered that it’s November 8, 2016 all over again, Trump would not be elected. The people who voted third party or sat on their hands to “keep them clean” would get their shit together.
As of today, WhiteHouse.gov is no longer a reliable source of information. Trump is using the platform to spread lies. You might want to check it out to see what his new “policies” are, but the lack of information and the misinformation now present on the website are stunning.
