Right on, Tooner! Just had an argument with my bestie who is convinced we need to emulate the propaganda tactics of MAGA; when I told her 1) propaganda is by definition, all lies, and 2) the moment you "emulate" despicable tactics you become exactly what you're fighting, the response was, "well Trump won, and he's in power, and it works."

Uh no:

Spraying machine gun fire into a few hundred thousand protestors in front of the Winter Palace in 1917 worked-- for the Czar to get deposed. Gunning down protestors at Kent State...real effective for the start of Nixon's downfall as well.

What works is MORALITY, COMMUNITY, and EMPATHY--exactly the opposite of this regime's reliance on fear, despair, and hopelessness. Come downtown to the Federal Building on Tuesday Jan 20 to protest ICE starting at 2:00PM ; bring pots and pans to make some NOISE around 4:30, too!

Well said! Wonder what the good, educated Germans did during Hitler's rise? What could they do? Protest... no. Vote ...no, Look away and hope to survive ..yes. November elections will be the turning point. If any of the following occur, I'm outta here.

1) No election held because of .... whatever fabrication djt amd redumblicans come up with.

2) Elections held and redumblicans maintain or add seats.

3) Democrats win most or all seats but election is deemed "fake" and results thrown out.

Reluctantly, I'm hoping that so major a disaster befalls us (especially the monied and corporations), that congress acts to remove djt and his fellow sycophants. TBD.
