Trump works by silencing opposition, spreading fear and misinformation, and teaching his followers to hate (even to go against their own best interest). Our response:
"We won't be silenced, we are not afraid, and we will win this fight with peace, love, and the Truth on our side." - Speak Now, Democracy
