This feels like when Nixon won in 1972 over George McGovern. The non-exploiters were crestfallen over the prospects of four more years in Vietnam.

Only Nixon’s resignation and Carter’s election put us back on-track morally.

It’s gonna take the entire younger generations to mobilize, it’s their planet now that Nixon-ite ideologues my age have stolen power again.
