In reply to the discussion: The Reality of Living In A Regime Is the Question: Now What? [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,412 posts)46. I hear what you're saying and I'm not going to accuse you of trolling or anything malevolent
but *this* is exactly how Trump, Bannon, et. al WANT us to feel- so demoralized that it's not even so much that we *can't* fight back, it's that we will surrender without firing a shot (metaphorically speaking). Take some time to rest and recover after the s**tshow of last week and get ready to fight hard for getting rid of the Con and all of his enablers in November. Trump doesn't command any kind of major public support (despite what an occasional Gallup poll or Rasmussen poll says) and if we beat him and his enablers electorally, he won't have any choice but to yield. What happened last week shouldn't have happened but that just means we need to redouble our efforts and fight onward. It's not over until WE say it's over!

I can't believe they will. They know the deal. How could they benefit from the Constitution's deal.

No. It no longer exists. Whether that's temporary or permanent depends on what we DO about it.

So I'm right. I still have to ask you and myself, now what? What do we both do about it?

Okay, so you're counting yourself out on the "doing" end of "now what"? Because it's "too late"?

Maher gave him a platform so WE could see who we're up against. Know your enemy. Let him speak.

Bannon did the classic gish-gallop stunt: thumping Maher's head with so much shit so quickly...

Great post, ancianita! Ironically, it may be climate change that saves US if it gets out the vote.

Good point. Climate change don't care. Stopping it will save us. Climate change itself will not.

I'm not demoralized. I'm realistic & people call it demoralization. But it's not. It's preparation.

Why wait until November 2020 to answer "now what" and "will we get used to it"?
