The solution is simple. Get the assault weapons OFF the streets, and put the Republicans in the House and Senate back ON the streets.

Beating them in an election isn't enough, any more than a gold star from the teacher is enough to stop the class bully. They must be made to hide in the shadows and fear the consequences of their actions. Winning won't be sufficient, they must be punished, so that others will be dissuaded from following their footsteps. I say this not from cruelty or vengence, but from strategy and psychology.
@ambulocetus Beating them in an election will lead them to hide in the shadows. All they want is power, so if we take that away from them, they’ll go away.
@AlliFlowers I disagree, they won't go away that easily. Trump lost and he didn't just go away. This isn't the Bush/Cheney type of Republicans anymore. These people are fucking nuts, and they have major media networks and activist billionaires behind them. I stand by my previous statement; voting is essential, BUT not sufficient.
@ambulocetus BUT…we have to start somewhere.
