(...with typos corrected. Please join us there if you haven't already: @Rainbow_ark)
Since February 2004 when it was founded, Rainbow Ark has been a safe zone for LGBT religious people in the furry fandom. We've been about 1/
tolerance, understanding, reminding each person that we're all important and we all have something to add to the whole. Lately, as you've 2/
noticed, we've been more about the state of the USA and civil rights & such. It kinda seems like we've lost focus. But I want to clarify 3/
There is something much more pressing than our original purposes, and it has to do with the well being of our democracy, and really the 4/
continuing (to at least some degree) of, at the risk of sounding melodramatic, the human race. We are at a point where we cannot give up 5/
and just let things go as they are with the corruption in leadership. We need to all step up, try to do better to separate fact from 6/
fiction, disseminate news, share plans, work against the forces which are today trying to obliterate our civil liberties and divide us. 7/
45 must be peaceably and lawfully removed from office as soon as humanly possible. He is the source of the destruction we see around us. 8/
To do that we all need to stay focused, get and stay connected, follow others in the resistance, and I have to believe good will prevail. 9/
Don't hate me if I have to interject a kitten gif now and then. Life goes on through this difficult time and we have to remember there is 10/
beauty and wonder in this world. Take care of yourself, step away at times you have to, but remember to come back. We need you. 11/11

In my opinion, the longer he is in office the more obvious it will be to everyone that the man is evil, that what he supports is evil, and the people who he brings around him and the ideals he espouses are evil.
If the Democrat party plays its cards right, he is a herald of doom for the militaristic 'fiscal conservatives' that use the government as a way to dump money into private contractors. Hopefully we can join the rest of the first world social democracies soon.
That 30% to 34% support for him hasn't budged for awhile. Remember when it was 50/50 around election day and then support began dwindling with each new screw up, lie, or evil deed? Now it seems pretty static at 30-34 no matter what happens--so these are his true cult followers, the ones who would literally be okay with anything he could possibly do. Unfortunately, they also have a lot of guns and hatred for 'libruls'. That's why every act to eventually remove him has to be done meticulously, peacefully, and lawfully.
But frankly, I don't know what to hope for in an end result of our leadership since the entire administration is so incredibly corrupt. He's doing the most damage (enabling the most bigoted among us, encouraging violence, complete ineptitude in leadership, in the midst of daily Constitutional crises, etc.,) so first thing's first, then deal with the rest: the band of enablers.
