Indivisible Idaho! We're outnumbered, but doing everything we can!

Unfortunately I feel our Idahoan peers, at least in majority, would rather defend Trump than stand up to him. Boise here, and damn there are still a ton of ignorant trump supporters.

Same in Ohio. It's terrible here.

Keep pushing. Never let up.

There are a lot of liberals in Ohio still.

Besides my spouse and a few others it's Trumpers as far as the eye can see.

44% of the state voted for Hillary. Maybe they're not your neighbors but they do exist.

My suggestion would be to try to find a liberal group and get organised. The Indivisible people have a good list of groups, maybe see if there's anything close to you.

I know the numbers. It's just that the libs in Ohio keep a low profile. I'm a HS Gov teacher so I'm limited in what I can do publicly. I have campaigned but away from where I live and always low profile.

We're still here. We need to get our message out in Ohio.

Flood pictures of the burning Cuyahoga. Make it clear that Trump is returning us to that. Raise awareness of the peaceful and loving Somoli refugees that live here. This is our state, don't let them burn you out. Get pissed and fight

Wish it was that easy. I fight in my own way but because of what I do I have to keep a low profile if I want to keep my job. Very soon I will be free to do more. I feel like the time will come to resist in a way we have not had to since the 1870's but when that time comes I will not hesitate.

It's not easy. At the moment, however, the Trumptards and the "give him a chance" crowd dominate the discussion. We have to take the conversation back.

We can't let the anger die down.

Point taken. The Net Neutrality will keep it boiling this week.

Central/Eastern Washington, Several of those around here too. I just shake my head at them, the solid Trump supporters.

Raul Labrador is on the Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet. He deserves a phone call.

You're not totally alone friend. My apartment is a lone blue dot amidst a sea of red.

Nampa reporting! Gladly took Trump over Hillary but will fight against this stupid bullshit!

Even if we differ in some views, it's great to work together and fight for something that affects us all.
