The morning after Donald Trump became the U.S. president-elect felt like something of a hangover for millions of Democrats . With a Republican Senate and House of Representatives to boot, to say nothing of Supreme Court vacancies, many liberals were understandably depressed.

Maybe thats why documentary filmmaker Michael Moores five-point plan has been shared over 100,000 times since it was posted on Facebook Wednesday morning. It offers a blueprint for how Democrats can get back up and fight for their causes.

Below, youll find the plan in its entirety:

Morning After To-Do List:

1. Take over the Democratic Party and return it to the people. They have failed us miserably.

2. Fire all pundits, predictors, pollsters and anyone else in the media who had a narrative they wouldnt let go of and refused to listen to or acknowledge what was really going on. Those same bloviators will now tell us we must heal the divide and come together. They will pull more hooey like that out of their ass in the days to come. Turn them off.

3. Any Democratic member of Congress who didnt wake up this morning ready to fight, resist and obstruct in the way Republicans did against President Obama every day for eight full years must step out of the way and let those of us who know the score lead the way in stopping the meanness and the madness thats about to begin.

4. Everyone must stop saying they are stunned and shocked. What you mean to say is that you were in a bubble and werent paying attention to your fellow Americans and their despair. YEARS of being neglected by both parties, the anger and the need for revenge against the system only grew. Along came a TV star they liked whose plan was to destroy both parties and tell them all Youre fired! Trumps victory is no surprise. He was never a joke. Treating him as one only strengthened him. He is both a creature and a creation of the media and the media will never own that.

5. You must say this sentence to everyone you meet today: HILLARY CLINTON WON THE POPULAR VOTE! The MAJORITY of our fellow Americans preferred Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. Period. Fact. If you woke up this morning thinking you live in an effed-up country, you dont. The majority of your fellow Americans wanted Hillary, not Trump. The only reason hes president is because of an arcane, insane 18th-century idea called the Electoral College. Until we change that, well continue to have presidents we didnt elect and didnt want. You live in a country where a majority of its citizens have said they believe theres climate change, they believe women should be paid the same as men, they want a debt-free college education, they dont want us invading countries, they want a raise in the minimum wage and they want a single-payer true universal health care system. None of that has changed. We live in a country where the majority agree with the liberal position. We just lack the liberal leadership to make that happen (see: #1 above).
