  2. Listener Jessica: I heard someone say earlier today—and I think it’s true—that NOTHING will get the Republicans to abandon Trump until they start losing elections. Once that starts happening, the game will change completely. And this made me realize that phone banking for Jon Ossoff and Rob Quist is probably the single most important thing we can be doing right now, aside from calling our reps. If we win these two races I can almost guarantee a complete change in the GOP’s tolerance of Trump’s bullshit. They are sticking with him now, but if we start taking seats from them that’ll end so fast Trump’s head will spin. So please, if you’re pissed, if you’re scared, if you’re outraged, and if you have ANY spare time, shoot me a PM and I’ll tell you how to get involved in phone banking. Even ten minutes a day can help. Plus it’s fun!
