This spasm of right wing activity, this over reaching at every step of the way....

tells me one thing...

Emerging demographics are telling the people who are pulling the strings and controlling the money that it's now or never.

We can really be seeing the beginning of a political watershed here in the US as well as around the world.

People are feeling more and more empowered across the globe. And people around the world are starting to see how interconnected we all truly are.

I truly believe that is the motivating factor in this unprecedented ideological turn backward.

We have managed to frighten the PTB.

And it is as you say: they see this as their now or never moment. If they lose momentum now, they may never get it back.

agenda. We have to push as hard and far to side of social and economic justice. Maybe so far that we can eliminate "medical Bankruptcy" from our language.

I think the year it became clear the ERA was not going to be ratified, the right wing became embolden.

As always, the left took it for granted that the right was no longer relevant and the American people and the rest of the world have been trying to recover ever since.

For too long the global elites have had us 'in death ground'- a battle field on which the only way to survive is to fight. Now we have started the counterstroke against the monsters and we have to continue to press on the attack where the advantage exists. Otherwise we will loose impetus and be forced to retreat. The party that's strangled this country since at least the Reagan era can be brought down and taken apart for all time....

... to pass "copyright" laws that lets them control the internet.

Thats their biggest goal right now, to control (or cease, if need be) all activity on the net they dont agree with.
