      Even the actual congressmen themselves tried to stop them by organizing with people outside of the Treasury and USAID and got told off at the door.

      It would take tens of millions of people calling their senators, showing up in DC, and then some.

          How does the law stack up to a locked door, a bunch of armed goons, and no armed law enforcement on your side? That’s what told off means.

          Its short for “Told to go Fuck Off”

          “Fuck Off” is Euphemism for masturbate

          They, congressmen, weren’t allowed to enter despite Trump’s goons going in and out freely.

      We couldn’t even organize to get people to vote, and in most places you could do it by mail which meant 15 minutes on a computer to get the ballot sent right to your home where you could fill it out and return it by putting it back in your mailbox. Voting in person was even easier than that! We are powerless because the masses are apathetic.

        They are apathetic primarily because they feel powerless. So the first thing we need to do is remind people of their power.
