May 2017

I supported HRC and Bernie is correct. And it seems to be getting worse. We hang our hats on 2018 and a criminal investigation and a senate closely enough divided to slow the legislative agenda to a crawl.

My question is this: is this the last gasps of a dying right wing in our country or is this just the beginning of a new surge of strength? I tell myself it's the former but I'm not so sure.

The Trump voters are quiet now but that doesn't mean they have changed their minds. It just means that maybe he wasn't the right one to carry the mantle. The next one will be cleaner, now that there is traction for the actual message.

I think we have to attack the message. The message is extreme and outside of American values. The new Christians are a hate group. We have got to meet their aggressiveness with aggression. We have to be brutally honest.

There can be no compromise with right wing extremist.
