10. Key to this is recognizing them after they run to their dark lairs

There is currently a movement gaining popularity that goes beyond the red plate / blue plate choices. We can look back a few years to see how we got to where we are now. Basically people were terrified about women and blacks (read as democrats) getting too much power in the government and were ready to do anything to stop it.
Well, stopping anything requires money and under the campaign finance laws of the day they couldn't possibly raise enough. So along came Citizens United and dark money. Corporations are people too we were told. And Americans went for it hook, line, and sinker.

So, now that Corporations are people too they must be judged in the same manner as people are. A corporate personhood is reflected by the company it keeps, those it admires and supports, and those it welcomes through its doors. Their advertising and carefully manicured public image doesn't shine on everyone once it has been stained.

Stand up against those who hold you down while taking your money. Don't be bullied. Be strong.

ETA- I don't think he lives down here
