This shit needs to stop. If you have any Republican representatives right now, you might consider writing them every day.

We can disagree on tax policy, immigration policy, even very strong issues, and I'm happy to fight about those issues and respect disagreement. But in the last month, the president has invaded a foreign country without even notifying congress, has used literal thug tactics to try to get lower interest rates, and now he's obviously illegally entering the home of a reporter to take information which is clear violation of the first and fourth amendments.

This is unamerican. It's a violation of the clear principles of the constitution. It's against the law. It's trivially deserving of impeachment.

Strongly worded letters to one's Congressperson are the equivalent to "thoughts and prayers". It doesn't matter how just (you think) your cause is; it will never achieve anything.

		>Strongly worded letters to one's Congressperson are the equivalent to "thoughts and prayers". It doesn't matter how just (you think) your cause is; it will never achieve anything. Your assertion isn't supported by, well, anything. The problem is that constituents think they can't affect their representatives' positions. They can.[0][1] Especially if there's a concerted effort to do so. For every constituent who writes/calls/emails, there are at least a half-dozen more who feel the same way. The problem isn't that contacting your representatives isn't effective, it's that by not doing so, you're ceding power to those that do.
