17. Stop the fear mongering already. Its bad enough Democratic candidates concede without respect for certainty.

Our communal fear is a perverse memorial to their misplaced propriety, relinquishment of justice and abeyance of honor. There were American Nazis, led by comic book heroes like Ford and Lindberg, parading around when we entered WWII. That didn't stop Roosevelt from challenging Americans to destroy them. The truth is not so hard to accept or follow when its fact based. Facts like "we have nothing to fear but fear itself" don't change because of an election. If we cower before bullies and since we're already on our knees, we may just as well install a grand statue of Garland to bow before. After all, his shameful recalcitrance is the stinking bitumen which paved the way to our current state. He and his ilk should meet fear because some day, probably sooner than we think, people are going to be fed up with the stupid triumph of corruption over reason and, like Cromwell's bones, dig to the roots of their predicament. Because that's the real wage of pretention and condescension in response to barbarism. It's not a quaking fear.
