(13,965 posts)and as we picked people to fight Trump, let us please please please dispense with the idea that if they go low we have to go high. Pure excrement! We will need to break out the James Carville's, the Joe Biden's, the Michael Moore's and everybody else that would go ahead and give the fine "professionals" but somehow lost us 2016 even though we gave them lots of of money, time, blood, sweat and tears.
This election was a cold civil war. Yes I will say it again, it is merely the continuation of the battle that contrary to history did not end when Lee surrendered. All that happened is that Lee was replaced by Nathan Bedford Forrest, the founder of the Ku Klux Klan. That the time was passed along many times, to George Wallace, to David Duke, to Pat Buchanan, and now the likes of Steve Bannon, and Tucker Carlson. They want anyone who does not fit into their vision gone! The bodies of people can be stacked up in the streets, just like they are every mass shooting, just like they are whenever a hurricane happens, or just like the medical morgues being filled with people who could not get medical care is too poor. This is the desired affect, and they are not only happy with the results, but the church is and chat rooms will do their best to lather them up for atrocities that would make Donald Trump weep.
we must stop bringing knives to gunfights, and if that means that we offend friends, relatives, churches tthen so be it. If not, we will find other actors who frankly would like us all dead, the sort of people who thought Che Guevara was cool when he said "I do not need a trial to execute someone." Let me be very frank, what I'm afraid of is that if we as Democrats do not manage to do a successful opposition to these fascist, sooner or later the Nihilists, those who really just want to break stuff and crackheads, will rise up, and always will have is just a bunch of trigger-happy idiots and half crazed vvisionaries that are wolves in sheep's clothing. We do not want to get to the point where this belief is just a product of the red states.
