This who/what they have always been, but behind closed doors, sheets, never in rudely your face during the past 20 or so years. Do not believe that Trump and Co will ever change. Despite his two weeks of very strong current mwedication, he's not about to become "reasonable" or disavow what he promised to his various voting blocs. He will directly or indirectly strip away anyone's human rights that he doesn't like, he will deport as many migrants.immigrants and refugees as he can get away with. He will attempt to play one group of us against another, weith false assurances of "Same Sex marriage is the law of the land< It doesn't bother me" while promising to0 overturn Roe Vs Wade, which has been the law of the land much longer than Same sex Marriage by pushing State's rights Listen to him, watch him closely, point out loudly the lies and dangers of shining example of greed and arrogrance. Stay the course. Do not stay depressed, overwhelmed,sad or hopeless. Do not waste time as to who or why the election and your specific canidate "lost"? It fucking doesn't matter now. We need to recognize the real danger at hand, work together, support each other across our comfort lines. Act on your truth and hope. Don't settle or compromise your life or anyone elses. From an old yet relevant song: Well, you say you want a revolution? Seems that we all got the republican defination of one shoved at us on Nov 8. Don't like it? Then do something about it.Rgilboanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-89765800105981245882016-11-13T23:26:06.656-08:002016-11-13T23:26:06.656-08:00I'm carefully re-reading and considering your ...I'm carefully re-reading and considering your plan of action, Jan.<br />The Sanders diehards are a real pain. He caved right away, didn't he? Sanders a true left socialist. Hahahahaha! (Sorry, couldn't resist.) And plenty of Democrats, at least now, have not caved in, including Senators Harry Reid and Brian Schatz. <br />We need to understand that our democracy has been eroding for decades and has now been overthrown. <br />I'm compiling a checklist of my own, a program that I can work on every day. My reach is not very great, but if enough Americans work to fight fascism every day we will prevail, eventually. My kids were out marching and protesting today. They and their kid, my grandkids, are the ones who will pay the highest price for what's going down.<br />Hattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297404386730167834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-50327071142187846942016-11-13T10:54:32.283-08:002016-11-13T10:54:32.283-08:00You seem to overlook key aspects of what really ha...You seem to overlook key aspects of what really happened. <br /><br /><i>"Sure, the Dems nominated a candidate who was difficult to put over the top and lost a campaign and left us in this fix. But the causes of that are not simple and most likely involved multiple apparently minor missteps that added up to a foul face-plant. The various elements of our big tent coalition do not easily get along with each other. Whites will act racist, men will behave like pigs, more conventional people will look askance at gender queers. But when we rub each other wrong, we have to ease up."</i><br /><br />A mere "difficult candidate to elect?" Kind of evasive isn't it? How about a corrupt Wall Street owned Elitist job outsourcing Nafta-TPP approving warmaking imperialist?<br /><br /><br />When Steinem and Albright accused female Democrats of betraying their gender if they voted Sanders, was this women behaving like pigs? (We can assume they already regard the 53% of white women who voted Trump traitors many times over.) When certain members of BLM express vulgar, violent anti-White impulses, is this blacks acting like racists? <br /><br />What about Clinton and Obama actually killing multitudes of innocent Muslims?<br /><br />http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/edward-snowden-oliver-stone-asks-how-many-muslim-countries-has-obama-bombed-a7358066.html<br /><br />Is this multicultural egalitarian liberalism in action?<br /><br />I myself heard many Sanders supporters accusing the phony and corrupt Clinton of playing tribal politics against a true left socialist. Does she and the DNC deserve blame for electing Trump? The answer is obvious.amspirnationalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-20359725356245381732016-11-13T05:20:40.612-08:002016-11-13T05:20:40.612-08:00Thank you for this, Jan.
