1. Call 911

You need a waambulance.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. No, it's not over.

The way someone gets power over you is by making you think you have no power. I refuse to concede this country to the likes of Trump.

[Squinch]

3. Lol! I love these "resistance is futile" posts. They amuse me.

[peggysue2]

7. x1000

Notice how these despair posts are proliferating? It's over; it's done. Put a fork in it. Boo Hoo.

Not now. Not ever.

And btw, we will never forget, never forgive.

[Squinch]

11. Never is right.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. No Surrender

[cilla4progress]

4. MUST KEEP RESISTING

It’s all we have.

[renegade000]

5. Never...

Maybe you should move to Russia if you're into hopelessness and fatalism.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

60. May be already there.

Just saying ...

[renegade000]

62. You said it, not me...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. I used my free hide. There is so much I want to say, none of it good.

[Yonnie3]

10. .

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. Why would someone try to break our will to resist ?

What good can come out of it ?

[Yonnie3]

20. It is not working on me.

We are stronger than that.

Just like you, what I want to say I shouldn't.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. You get knocked down. You get back up.

[yuiyoshida]

52. There is a JAPANESE SAYING....

Fall down seven times, get up eight: The power of Japanese resilience!
7回落ちる、8回立ち上がる。

[Hekate]

40. Viva Zapata

RESIST


NOT IN MY NAME

[htuttle]

8. Did you say it's over?!

[smirkymonkey]

63. That was exactly the scene that I had in mind.

"Because when the going gets tough...the tough...get going!"

"Nothing is over until WE decide it is!"

[samplegirl]

9. I would say the same.

Putting all our faith in Mueller and his team is very risky. Will it come to using the force of pitchforks? I think the Democrats better have a damn good backup plan or we will be the next silenced and caged.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. I'm putting my faith in my fellow Americans, not all of them, but at least a plurality of them.

[politicaljunkie41910]

55. They won't be able to silence us ALL. And we won't be caged willingly.

[4now]

14. Is this a low post count concern troll?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. I would have asked that question myself but I'm leery of getting a hide.

[4now]

24. Don't get your posts hidden it makes it less likely that they will call you to jury

I just cant help myself sometimes.
Keep up the good work.

[xmas74]

26. I'm not saying they are trolls

But the join date was in June.

[xmas74]

38. I didn't say you were a troll.

I didn't say you had a low post count. I said you joined last month and according to your profile, you joined last month.

Take it as you will.

[rzemanfl]

41. What was your old username? n/t

[rzemanfl]

54. It seems to me a perfectly reasonable question to ask under the circumstances.

Do you talk like that to a cop if he asks for your driver's license? My motto here is "Resist, but watch your back." There is a lot of strange shit going on here. It's worse than it has ever been.

[rzemanfl]

65. Same tune, different day.

[xmas74]

23. They joined last month.

Take it as you will.

[Hekate]

42. Sometimes the question just needs to be asked. nt

[WiffenPoof]

16. Well Stated

As hard as it is to accept, I do believe that you are correct in you're assessment. It's sad really.

While much remains to be exposed, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that we have been had, both from the inside and from the outside.

No effort had been made by the Trump Administration to investigate this invasion of our country.

While I was deeply concerned over all of this from the beginning. It has only been in the last couple of weeks that I've become truly frightened. All of the pieces are falling into place and the horrific thought that our country is going down is almost too much to bear.

Starting today I'm going to call my senators and representatives on this issue. I must do something besides stand around and watch this nightmare unfold before us.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. The original poster isn't calling for action. He or she is calling for inaction.

Sorry to be such a downer folks, I just think that clinging on to hope of Mueller and the mid-terms is just another set up for a painful, fatal fall. No one is stopping ANY of this, and to assume that Putin and the GOP are leaving any loose ends is a stupid and naive way to live. They won...so now what?

[WiffenPoof]

22. I see

You are correct. And while I agree with much of what was stated, I will continue to fight.

[renegade000]

17. "They will die in Tallinn"

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/07/10/they-will-die-in-tallinn-estonia-girds-for-war-with-russia-218965

If the Baltics plan on resisting the Russians and their cronies to the last man, woman, and child, then a diverse nation of hundreds of millions will resist, endure and prevail.

[CarlosDem]

27. Well spoken.

[Brother Buzz]

30. Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?

Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

[Elwood P Dowd]

37. Help the fight. Get a star by your name by giving a few bucks to help DU keep sreading the word.

Maybe then you won't get so many negative responses.

[nancy1942]

43. I know exactly how you feel.

I would love to be optimistic but I am unfortunately a complete realist. I am so depressed at this point that I can barely function. I can only tell you that you aren't alone in your sobering views. Your opinion is a valid one and you are free to express it; so far, at least.

[mythology]

28. You're welcome to give up

The rest of us have shit to do to make this a better place.

[grantcart]

35. Well it's been a hard 2 weeks lol

[DemocratSinceBirth]

48. We would have got Kavanaugh with a Cruz or Rubio.

Being appointed by Trump makes it easier to oppose him.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

45. +1

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

31. Fuck no, it's not over!! Viva la rsistance!!

[Hekate]

32. Never

[lame54]

34. That's a personal choice...

If that's how you feel
Get the fuck out of the way

[Takket]

36. Benczkowski can't fire Rosenstein

i don't exaggerate when i say that it is not over, but November the 7th is he bottom of the 9th with 2 outs. Last chance. whatever becomes of mueller, whether we control congress is the most important thing.

[Trueblue Texan]

39. It's never over...

We may lose Democracy, but the fight for Democracy is NEVER over! It’s really hard now. It’s heartbreaking. But as bad as it may seem, there are those with far less political advantage who keep fighting. Who are we to stop fighting? It’s. NEVER. Over.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

46. When the going gets tough,

the tough gets going.

[blogslut]

49. Oh, you sweet summer child.

Bless your heart.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

50. When nothing seems to help...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

56. What if George Washington quit after being decisively defeated in the Battle Of Long Island ?

[emulatorloo]

58. People told you to not give up. That is good advice.

It isn’t over until it is over, and we are not done.

Sounds like you are a fighter. Get some rest and live to fight another day.

[handmade34]

67. hang in there (here)

it does getter better, I promise… I agree with you... the difference?... I will fight to the VERY end... people here just resist the pessimism of your post... rant if you must but don't give up

[kysrsoze]

53. Stop crying about it. You have no idea what others have gone through before this.

We’re WAY OFF from a dictatorship, but it’s attitudes like this that take us closer.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

57. I heartily endorse this post.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

59. Post 63? Ballsy. Never Surrender.....

Just realized how much this guy looks like Fox Mulder. Pritty' sure FBI Fox wouldn't surrender either tho.


"STOP RESISTING"!!! I smell bacon. (Who says that?)

[FSogol]

61. NEVER. n/t

[Solly Mack]

64. I am one of the most cynical posters on this board

I don't believe in the innate goodness of people - individuals, yes - the collective, no.

I don't believe democracy always triumphs because there is too much evidence otherwise.

I don't put any faith in the thinking that Mueller will change what's happening. I've seen a lot of investigations while keeping up with politics and the ones who should go to prison tend to not go to prison - and that with a government willing to go through the motions instead of abandoning them. We now have one that would abandon even the illusion.

But it's not over.

You're talking about adapting yourself to an authoritarian regime -

we have to go to our jobs, live our lives, raise our families, be ourselves - and in this new, dismantled America

And if you really believe that - that it is time for you to put your head down, narrow your focus, and learn to adapt - then your acceptance condemns us all.

The part about "be ourselves" - Really? How is it that I can be myself in a country that would strip me of my rights as a woman?

How can you - be yourself - in such an America if you care about the rights of others?

How can you - be yourself - in a country that no longer allows dissent?

How can you - be yourself - when everything you believe in is dismantled?

There is no room to "be ourselves" in such a world.

I despair, too. I do. Won't lie about that - but I'm not going to simply lie down for the fuckers either.

[LBM20]

66. Please, get on meds. Take uppers. This is retreatist shit.

[TomSlick]

69. NEVER!

I will give up when they pry the Constitution from my cold lifeless hands.
