      Grief is natural, but we cannot give up the fight. Tens of millions did not vote for this. If they want to take away rights, make every one a fight

      Everything we fight is time they cannot spend moving on to the next thing. Drag every fight out even if it’s something seemingly minor. Give them no ground

      The more resistance they see, the weaker they become

        Tens of millions intentionally didn’t vote at all, knowing full well this was going to happen. At this point, I don’t want to help them when the shit hits the fan. This is what they wanted.

            Isn’t this how it always is, though?

            Of course those affected turned out. We always do. We’re often getting tear-gassed when 98% of people aren’t even aware a demonstration is happening.

            The whole problem is a great many people can’t believe there’s an issue until it affects them, personally.

            That’s the heart of it all. If this author had ideas on how to fix that, we’re all ears. Not sarcasm – we’ve been working on that for a very long time.
