As Jefferson put it, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." It might be time again. It is, after all the 250th Anniversary of the Revolution. And it seems like we just reran the election of 1860 - with the other side winning. Time for Patriots to start rallying to the cause of Truth, Justice, and the American Way again. Join us @ civic.net
Right now, for me, HOPE seems fruitless and unattainable. But I am beginning to understand that the plurality of voters chose short term satisfaction over long term security. We educated forward thinking Dems underestimated how powerful the grievances of the less well read middle class were --and translated to the ballot box. For a few nanoseconds, I even thought that my next step should be to join the republican party to get a better understanding of how their message was so much more attractive than ours. But mis- and intentional dis-information played such a huge part of their message, I'm afraid I wouldn't last long. Was it actually OUR message that was wrong all along?
Anand, your calm, measured, insightful, and hopeful messages are essential to me. Now I have to get through the deep and varied analysis . It’s hard to hear. Painful. I heard Vice President Harris ‘s messages and I do not recognize the truth of those who went to trump. I need hope. And I need to see some goodness come from this fraught and troubling time. In my own corner of the world, I’m striving to act with hope and to give hope.
agree 100% and support!
