Oh I was wrong. I learned about this from Lincoln the movie. Turned out prolonging the war was added for dramatic effect. Thought it was true.

I believe we will make a new America after this! A beautiful one!

Just like when gun control was brought to California when the Black Panthers open carried.

I like your name lol

I don’t understand your logic here. Yeah, a lot of new ideas are pushed forward by fringe or oppressed groups. Those fringe groups can grow in size and power to challenge, and thus change the institution itself.

MAGA was not institutional at first. They were fringe and weird. No one took them seriously. Look at where they are now.

Slavery was institutional at first. But then the Republicans, an institution, were created to counter slavery. Abraham Lincoln literally tricked American citizens into supporting the 13th Amendment, thinking it was necessary to stop the Civil War. In reality, Lincoln kept the Civil War going longer than necessary to pass the Amendment.

I feel torn about this.

America is the slavers but also the abolitionists.

America is the corrupt corporations but also the Battle of Blair mountain.

America is an imperial army but is also the anti-Vietnam War protesters.

In order to embrace more of the good of America, we need to learn more about the bad.

I used to think that Obama would just call us all up and have us storm the White House.

I have since learned, resisting fascism isn’t like a movie. It’s more like dealing with an ant infestation. It’s gross, it’s all in your food, and when you improve one area they’ve infested another. But eventually if you keep going at it, things improve and you do get your house back.

One day these stupid corrupt businesses and administration will pay.

I thought it over. Sorry I talked down about Gen Z. I’m just tired of outsiders saying all Americans do is complain.

I’ve seen so many people do so much. It’s so disheartening.

But throwing people under the bus for approval isn’t something I should be doing.

Happy cake day!

I thought resistance to fascism would be flashy. It is not. I’ve paid close attention to a lot of the different protests we have had. Some have been effective, some have not. I can explain in more detail if you wish, but it would be long.

Millions are working against this at any given time. Just no one can agree on a single strategy. It’s a death by a million cuts kind of a situation.
