You're more than them. You're smarter than them. You're more empathetic than them.

[Stinky The Clown]

You're more fair than them. You're more inclusive than them. You're more understanding than them.

Most of all, you're STRONGER than them.

Yes, they hold all the power. They did that by lying, cheating, and stealing. They'll say they didn't. They'll say that we're lazy. They'll bluster and show contempt. But in the end, they're just common bullies. They've duped a significant portion of the population. They've convinced them to vote against their own self interests.

They have no plans for anything. They simply want to destroy. They have no moral compass. They just want to undo what we've accomplished by hard work and against big - BIG - opposition. They don't know what hard work is. They just project their own faults on us.

Remember, you are STRONGER than them and you are BETTER than them.

Yes, we got our asses kicked royally. We got that ass kicking because of cheating. Russia. Comey. NY FBI Field Office. FoxNooz. NBC (Worse than FOX). And that's just for openers.

As proof, we actually got more votes. Millions more votes.

We may be down, but we are in no way out of it.

Already military officers with another decade of service in them are getting ready to yank the cord at 20 instead of racking up the bennies and going for 30. Watch the intelligence services start to lose their senior people as they head for the exists. Watch as our foreign service senior professionals (not political appointees) find new paths outside of government. Watch as many other senior people in many other parts of the government also retire or move to the private sector. Without talent, the government is diminished in its ability to perform. Without experienced government leadership in the executive branch - and we all know the new administration is nothing if not inexperienced - their ability to navigate the stormy reefs of weak governmental agencies can only lead to disasters big and small.

Now is really the time for us to restart and get ready.

Stand up. Stay strong. Be ready. Our day will come again, it will, indeed.

My fervent hope is that many of our younger people will get involved directly. School boards. City and county offices. Start now. The time for hand wringing is past. The time for action is now.

You ARE stronger.

You are BETTER.

Now let's discuss tactics . . . . . .

1. Would love to have a national website for organizing protests, letter writing campaigns,

helping local people run for office.

A national resistance website where we can gather. This is going to have to be actual resistance, and insistence that ALL politicians with D after their name cooperate with us, not the dictator.
