Reply #72: Resistance is futile! What you resist, persists!

:D Oh man, I am so going to kick my own thread that disagrees with this.

People are not running around seething. Most of us had our memorial service for Falwell already.

Sir, or ma'am, for I know not which you are--The Poles were pissed-off for generations and THEY finally got their freedom.

Anger and even hate do not derail Democracy. It is right wing movements that derail Democracy. Passivity derails Democracy.

Do you have any idea how angry people were during the American Revolution? Do you know how uncivilly our founders treated one another? Very.

And lord of mercy, but how they fucking hated King George of England.

Here's the BIG SCOOP...Democracy and change do not ever happen WITHOUT anger.

And Right-wingers know that one, inside-out, backward and forward. It's why they spent decades--with Falwell's help--whipping up the emotions. And look where we are. They WON.

The right-wing also knows to keep their opposition in-fighting EACH OTHER as much as possible instead of directing anger toward the right-wing itself.

Anger and discontent, and even rudeness and hate is what will now get the right-wing out of our hair as Americans are increasingly, passionately motivated for change.

(YEGODS!! Do you people realize that "Falwell" is on our spellcheck here? EVIL SPIRIT, BE GONE I SAY!!!)

Here is a counterpoint thread I wrote, if you care to read it:
