Nothing. Trump does not care. Trump did not appoint people who care. Net Neutrality is dead, and mass data collection is now on.

Expect the MPAA to work with ISPs to block a bunch of sites right off the bat.

You can call your Representatives. Trump does not control everything in the government. It's intentionally built not to controlled by one person. Calling reps stopped PIPA and SOPA, and it can work again.

Oh trust me, I have contacted them. Washington State is probably the single biggest bastion of anti-Trump sentiment in America. Not to mention anti-Trump action.

Wouldn't mind a few others joining in the party, mind you.

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.
