I'm talking people who don't get their dopamine hit from 12 likes. They need the raw primo buzz of smattering applause.

They watch cable news which is not keeping them complacent anymore. They also sniff cuts to SS and medicare like a dog sniffs bacon strips.

I mean, they’re in Facebook groups and sharing emails that are largely invisible. That’s how I organize most of the ones I’ve done.

They talk to each other at swim yoga, church, and library functions. They hear it from their kids and grandkids who are getting laid off, kicked off care, and losing school funding.

Reminds me of the saying “those who forgot history are doomed to repeat it".

Most old people remember the lessons from the past. We are WTF with fascists (and tankies). Can't believe we have to fight these battles again.
