I would rather die on my feet fighting this regime than live on my knees in submission to it. It’s that simple, we give in, they win. We fight, they can never win. #DemVoice1 - ThreadSky

I saw someone post, "It's too late to save America." No it's not. Not even close. We will NEVER stop fighting the lawlessness, the unconstitutionally, the tyranny. The time is NOW! In fact, "THE TIME IS ALWAYS NOW." (Artist: Peter Tunney)

Jusging by the commenteriat at my favorite blog/news aggregate, there are a significant number of US citizens that would rather interminably argue over which Democrat is to blame for Trump's ascendance to dictator than consider what steps any of us can do to move forward.

Some of the comments (especially from the "both sides are just as evil" crowd) are so divergent from actual events that I feel that foreign troll farms have changed the focus of their efforts from advocating Trumpism to sowing/maintaining division amongst the various leftist/left of center factions.

And all this gets an assist from people who have yet to process their grief. A lot of them seem to have melded denial, anger, and bargaining into a Mexican standoff of finger pointing. The only voice depression gets is "we're fucked, let's move to Europe".*

I just want to shout "Boys, boys, we're all pretty! Can we move on to acceptance yet?"

On a positive note, Pete Buttigieg was John Stewart's guest on this week's "The Weekly Show" and, in addition to re-orienting himself to the routines of daily family life, he has given serious thought about the necessary practical requirements of the path forward.

I’ve been shouting out about unity for fighting the regime from last year’s election. It took an alliance of communists to nationalists to overthrow Milošević in Yugoslavia, it will take the same here too.

From what I've read, season 2 of Andor will, since it dovetails into Rogue One, be all about cooption, building concensus, and performing necessary tasks that are personally morally repugnant.

I will be very interested to see the last part play out.

I'd rather march myself into a wheelchair, than sit here and wait for the inevitable on that one...
Pretty sure, as long as I live, I will always fight for those who are oppressed.
Social Injustice has turned into Government mandated prejudice.
It is what it is.
And I will always fight against that.
