They aren't going to go away. They're gonna continue to be loud and ugly as ever. To think otherwise is delusional

It's our task not to let them control the debate. Arguing with the wackos is often counter-productive. It's more important to expose them, and the motives of the power structure that supports them

Most of all, we have to know what we want and why we want it and who opposes it, and then we have to be organized enough to push for it effectively
