Reply #20: Does it matter what the people think?

[readmoreoften]

What? Is all of America going to rise up in the streets and risk imprisonment, risk looking like lunatics, risk looking like Democrats, like "the loony left"? Risk losing their jobs, losing friends and family, losing the respect that comes from being "calm and balanced" that comes from speaking in muted professional tones?

And if we all took to the streets, would the media cover it? Would they ignore it? Or spin it? Could we ever gain critical mass?

Are "the people" going to rise up and stop them? The same people who watch American Idol and Fox News? How do you stop a fascist regime from the inside? Germany didn't do it. We have no counterrevolutionary leftist forces to do battle with the rightists. Who is going to stop them?

No one is going to stop them. As bad as we all think this is, it is only going to get worse.
