The cracks are already appearing in this minority party. Mitt Romney and others are beginning to embrace the possibility of social programs, etc. So, some of the opposition are realizing that they have to change their game plan. Even though Georgia Republicans are abandoning any attempt to portray themselves as pro-citizen, the Lt. Governor is boycotting this slew of repressive legislation. My guess is that he realizes that there will be tremendous pushback, and he has higher political aspirations that will be in danger That's good, but we need to continue to resist, and relax only a bit when it is clear that the Republicans have abandoned their forays into fascism and have a common goal of representing all citizens, not the interests of big business. As you so aptly stated Eric,, "the struggle will admittedly be long and hard."
Nancy- Your words are true, holding "the enemies of Democracy accountable without apology or being "pollyanna" about this dire attack on Democracy. I wish to emmulate your razor sharp words that surgically expose the cancer of autocracy. Even though you are gracious, no one should mistake you for being Pollyanna.
Jay, thank you so much for the compliments. Yes, I talk way too much, and spend some time "counseling" friends who are much nicer than I when they fret about "how could they do that" and man's inhumanity to man. I'm something of a mild cynic, and while I hope for the best in people and institutions, I see potential pitfalls. True - no Pollyanna here.😉
