The Reality of Living In A Regime Is the Question: Now What?

48. I'm not demoralized. I'm realistic & people call it demoralization. But it's not. It's preparation.

You could be right. But it's better to be prepared with contingency plans and not need them, than to need them and be caught pants down.

So, how do you really know, again, the on-the-ground facts of public support -- when you pick media over Gallup (the largest poll in the US) over other polls?

What efforts do we redouble? What have we used that works? Am I missing something besides Democratic candidate enthusiasm? I'm only seeing media negativity about the party due to cheating forces in IA. That there is psyops. My guess is that we really won't know what works until Super Tuesday, look at who won, and do more of that.

You're right about the Bannon goal. I'd also add that he thinks he's more woke than the left. He's out to convince the public that the Republicans are the smartest adults in the room and resistance is futile. I get that.

We often demoralize ourselves due to fear of envisioning a future different from that of our opponents. Not because it's not a great vision, but because we can't sell it.

Anyway. If we do really honor rule of law but see that it's not enforceable, how is that like believing "no, we can't" -- isn't this situation a guide for plans to not let them run 2020?

Thank you so much. I feel your care and optimism, which we all need.
