The Democratic National Committee and more than three dozen groups are planning events across 20 states on Saturday, according to details first shared with NBC News.

Dozens of liberal groups unveiled plans Tuesday to hold around 50 events across 20 states to protest Republican redistricting efforts in Texas backed by President Donald Trump.

The demonstrations scheduled for Saturday — branded as “Fight the Trump Takeover” — are being organized by more than three dozen groups, including the Democratic National Committee, according to plans shared first with NBC News.

“Trump knows the only way he can hold the majority after his budget betrayal is by changing the rules in the middle of the game to avoid accountability for ripping health care and food away from millions of Americans,” said DNC Chair Ken Martin in a statement, referring to Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill that he signed into law last month.

    end of the Democratic party as well

    It could absolutely stay in a parliamentary system, although it would be better if it fractured.

    But yeah, that’s been what’s stopping it.

    To be able to do this, you would need a party in complete control… And willing to tear down the very system they dominate.

    Neoliberals would never do that, but they don’t control the party anymore.

    but I think it would look more like a popular takeover of the Democratic party to be used as a disposable vehicle. The Democratic leadership and their donor class will absolutely be opposed.

    They are…

    It’s not a hypothetical, the donor class got kicked out of DNC leadership about 6 months ago, and since they control the media, they’re not telling people it happened. They’re hoping enough voters stay ingorant and angry that they skip the Dem presidential primary so a neoliberals can make it to the general.

    We can not allow that to happen.

    No matter what happens, we need to get as many people to vote in the Dem primary as possible.
