Did Dems elect older fella, all around respected good guy, Connolly, because

he will chart a safer course through the approaching storms. Do Dems think his example will be easier to follow? Or, do Democrats really no see it is past time to turn over leadership to our next generations?

We must resist persistently, with patience and imagination, careful not to flame out.

Let this little paragraph about Mario Savio be an admonition:

Perhaps their incompetence is our greatest ally against their fascist intentions.

Is the Muskrat the new managing partner of the American Oligarchy?

Could it be that Agent Orange has about as much real power as the King of England?

"Fear is the mind killer"

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

― Frank Herbert, Dune

Joyous resistance? Why not?

Resist: with the mindfulness of a monk and the ferocity of flowing water.
— with a quiet mind and a tenacious heart.
—peacefully as zephyr and with the determination of a panther’s stare.
—with the kindness of a mother’s touch and the confidence of a charge nurse.
Find a way and resist. And, a little bit is enough if it’s all you can do.
Peace.

Why is this happening? My expiration is until January?

I resist so that I can live peacefully with me. Hate gets in my way.

If I can make a small dent in the massive manure spreader rumbling our way, more the better.
Peace and good health to all.

And, oh, fuck Nazis.

All of us on DU can identify the problems. We skillfully articulate and define the problems.

What we seem to lack are long, in depth discussions about how we intend to respond to these problems. Spitballing sessions about actions, direct, indirect, and passive are not flowing back and forth.. Am I wrong in my thinking here, or am I looking in the wrong forums? Is it too soon? Are we on our own, left to our own devices when it comes to response. I admit, I’m kinda lost here. Seems like an entire storeroom of potential, imaginative resources or practical ideas is going untapped.

What is our military going to do?

My hope is that they imagine all possible scenarios and consider how they will or will not act. All security agencies have 6 months to make a plan.
