Gandhi quote on tyrants:

[louslobbs]

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.”


― Mahatma Gandhi

1. True, but what damage they can do while still in control.

This gives me no hope at all for us if drumpf gets in office in 2020. I guarantee a false flag operation, suspension of the constitution and no more free elections unless you are a white homeowner and only option will be him. He will end public education, steal all our Medicare and SS $, end all labor laws, including overtime and child labor laws, end all rights to healthcare including Medicaid, disabled or sick seniors get thrown out of nursing homes en mass, end all environmental regulations, end ability to obtain birth control of any sort, end free press. How do we recover from that?

4. All kinds of horrible things have happened and will continue happen before the end

of this national nightmare. I must admit, I share many of your fears. My hope is, that the majority of this nation and the majority of the world, are in the process of recognizing the seriousness of this current threat, not only to this nation, but to the world at large, and steps are being taken to meet this threat and stop the current conflagration. I know how hopeless it can feel at times, but we cannot allow moments of hopelessness, stop us from fighting and resisting the current threat posed by those who want to rule over us and dictate our futures. I refuse to live in fear. I would rather fight till dead, the world that would be of the Trumps and Putins. Like it or not, we are in this struggle together and we have no alternative but to fight like hell, to keep these hard fought freedoms, that others are trying to take away. Can a lot more damage be done as we fight to stop this scourge? Yes, unfortunately it can, but we keep fighting, and then we fight even harder and we enroll others in the possibility that in the end, love and truth and freedom will win. Make them fight for every inch of ground, because they would like nothing better than for us to make it easy for them by losing hope and giving up. There will be more difficult days ahead, but I believe, that in the end, we will win. This tyrant too, shall fall. And hopefully, all of his conspirators, collaborators, fellow obstructionists, sycophants and cultists, will pay the price of their treason as well.

2. White Europeans never fell

They came to America and committed genocide and slavery.

Just sayin'.

6. That's beautiful.

I want to believe they always fall, but we all know, it's really "almost always."

I think we all need it. Hope that love prevails.
