5. You're right and we need to keep telling this truth without pounding them down.

I think the point of the OP is caught up with that false equivalency, but it doesn't mean we can't make this whole MEME our own.

WE ARE THE PARTY OF PEACE.

WE ARE THE GROWNUPS IN THE ROOM.

WE ARE THE HOPE TO TURN THIS SITUATION AROUND.


It's just going to be 4 years of dealing with toddler mentality and not flipping our lids or blowing our cool and letting them become "victims" and "martyrs".




The 1% is DESPERATE to separate US from their base because they know when we are allowed to talk calmly and reasonably with them about what happened and what is GOING to happen, that their base will FINALLY SEE what's been going on ....

and all that ANGER they've been directing at US and Obama


WILL FIND A NEW TARGET.

The 1% - their handlers - their oppressors.


We just need to give them time to see it for themselves by not allowing ourselves to be inserted into that space instead.


I'm not saying get wussified and roll over. Just that we need to remain civil and keep the TRUTH front and foremost. REPETITION of the FACTS until it's the ONLY thing they hear from US day in and day out.
