(7,725 posts)he'll be open to leading the opposition grassroots style. 'Salvation Front' I think he called it. How can we get that started? I'd choose a better name, but, I hope he's serious. He has a new book coming out.
At any time something major could happen.
It's Friday. Have YOU reviewed your plans for what your going to do if we need each other to march or protest peacefully? We have to keep reminding ourselves that an "Unexpected Journey" may occur for all of us soon. Meaning propelling ourselves outside, and to support people who are doing the grunt work. Prepare yourself so you don't back out when you're called on to stand up for the Stars and Bars and everything we hold dear. I'm not sure about you, but, my family and this country gave me everything to be right here, right now. We owe Uncle Sam our Loyal Opposition. As Democrats we embrace education. We read books. We engage society. We know the platform and our inalienable rights. Meditate on it now, so we can march to the rescue. WE will be another 1968. How do YOU want to be remembered 50 years from now?
EVERY protest started w a lone person holding up their sign first. The rest of us are there to support that person, and every one that comes afterward in the same spirit. Singing songs. Holding signs. Walking or sitting arm in arm. The first guy/girl is just as scared as you or I. Reward true dignified and honest strength in those ready to be first and lead the way. Eh?
Please put together a short list of 10 things to put in a back pack. Phone a friend. Tell your parents and family you love them, and get going. We will all look back on 2018 as the 50th Anniversary of 1968. Those of us alive and cogent then,
Remember 68"!
Have a good weekend and Fathers Day!

(58,785 posts)one complete on one side, waiting to know what to put on the other. We're going on the road before long, and they're on my list to pack. Whoops! Fat markers also.
Trump's trapped himself in a corner he can't get out of, and it does seem very possible that he may trigger turnout in numbers that could make the women's marches look small. Scared into turning out. Goodness knows the child atrocities should be enough... But we have midterm elections coming up when America and put control of congress into competent and principled hands.
Only 141 days and we can reunite those children with their mothers and put a legislative branch leash on Trump.
