(1,284 posts)I admit it isnt easy. The number of deluded folks is breathtaking and most are not interested in facts or numbers right now.
Nonetheless, if we hold our rooted in reality ground and repeat the truth as nauseum (like the gop repeats so many lies who knows the count?) it will have an amplification effect.
We need to try and avoid the circular firing squads!! and focus on the plain old facts.
Talk to your neighbors too. Talk to the guy at the gas station and the bank! Weeks ago I fretted to a banker based on the GOPs rhetoric that the gop would come after the FDIC. She said no way that happens.
What must she be thinking today? See how that works ?
Be like those old shampoo commercials and she told two friends, he told two friends and so on and so on ad infinitum.
Have faith. We are still the kind, decent people we have always been look at how much we give and how hopeful we almost always are. Some of us are seriously deluded. Some of us are in fact hateful, misguided bigots and lonely misogynists, too. This is true. Most of us, though, are not. We are simply so busy we can hardly think straight and are ergo, easily played (sadly).
