    Sad it took the Muslim ban for democratic leaders to realize they need to vote no across the board

    Any idea if your union was full of Trump voters? Would something liek this sway them?

    I think a lot of that can be attributed to the protests. See this bit from a post from last night: "The scale and ferocity of the anger coming out of the Democratic base has astounded even some party veterans."

  16. Although it's worth saying that a "Leninist" interpretation of AnCapism doesn't exist in theory like other aspects of it do. There are lots of people who have written about why it is good, less about how to achieve it. Bannon's vanguardist, centralized, using the state to destroy itself after changing its nation into the AnCap image would be a novel theory in the AnCap milieu.

    Oh yeah absolutely, the democratic base is putting pressure on their representatives to actually resist and show that they're going to resist
