don't mourn, organize

OK, whether the bomb was a dud, or perhaps because a good republican like Barr made sure to piss on the wick, we did not get the boom we deserved. I say deserved because the second Trump tok stuff from Wikileaks, there was collusion.

However, let us be clear, while he battle is lost, the war is far from over, especially as everyday, trump does something that proves why he is not fit for office. However, we need to energize those who wants to vote against him, but are afraid (or hopeless) we also have to play t the enemies weakness: fear. It will happen no mater how many times the preachers say “but we gotta take this one for jesus”, because thanks to trump’s policies, people are already losing more of their money and safety. It sounds arrogant, and it is arrogant, but Trump will only lose power when he can no longer feed the ego, and that will only happen with pain. Right now, we should be saying he is going to cut social security, medicare, all those things he promised not to do.

I know that history will probably reveal a boil of contagion that makes the worst speculations look cute. I know that the Glenn Greenwald, Ted Ralls and all the rest of Vlad’s fan club will go nyah nyah. But the trith is in our side, hell, time is on our side, especially as the hurricanes blow and the bread lines expand.

Also, to whoever says “dis means we gotta stop talking identity polyytics and talk about da whytworkingcalls” Yeah. you know who you are, thugh the tos will not let me say it. , I say that is the last thing we need to do. We need feet going to the polls, and the only feet we have being to those who are not content to get that ego boost hit from being “white”. If all we do is offer a choice between a fake gop and a real one, we know who the weak people will chose, to paraphrase Truman.

Let us NOT panic...the war is far from lost, and indeed, even if we are the ones left standing, we will stand on truth that has been revealed, which means we get to talk over the bones and ashes of those that clung to the lie with their last breath.

If you don't think a battle was lost just listen and do what good democrats are telling you to do.

Have you read any headlines today? The news organizations are saying there was no collusion or obstruction. Just b/c a year from now after the court battles are done you may be proven right doesn't mean a battle was just lost.

we are at war. The conservative movement in this country wants the left dead and buried. Don't think they will be cajoled, coerced, or influenced into being less than a selfish tool for rich white America. They must be forced into correction or extinction. Organize, march, make phone calls. but most of all VOTE. Vote for the democratic candidate in EVERY election. Don't vote for anyone else b/c you feel the dems aren't your perfect ideological match. BS like that got us into this mess. The repukes understand that party over country is the way to vote. We must do the same to get America back onto a corrective course.

An example, of what lying cheating thieving bastards conservatives are can be found in Supreme Court Justice Sandra O'Connor's memoir: she admitted she chose Bush over Gore because she wanted a conservative president even though she agreed with Gore's legal argument. Conservatives will violate the constitution every chance they get if it serves their interest. Never rest until they're gone.
