(1,207 posts)I particularly like this paragraph:
"Long term, extremism on both right and left and general nuttery grow when people become frightened about the future. When people feel more secure, the syndromes shrink back to those who always are and for the rest are replaced with discussions about the new tatting craze and where to go on vacation."
How about this:
Push the Dem party back to it's populist roots. I know in NC, and the South, that worked very well under FDR- think the TVA. Rural electrification and plumbing resonated with Americans in the midwest.
Media--- start up local radio and TV stations that are more "old fashioned" if you will. Counter the screaming RW nutjob TV and radio that we have been subjected to since the advent of cable TV and the internet.
Schools- Start pushing for information science to be part of the curriculum.
