Well said, Janet! And let me add another message to go along with “Mad As Hell:” The MAGA faithful have promised a Civil War if Trump loses. We can resist that effort! The Law is on our side.

Well said, Janet! And let me add another message to go along with “Mad As Hell:” The MAGA faithful have promised a Civil War if Trump loses. We can resist that effort! The Law is on our side. But we can also promise our own Civilized War. We can use our Purchasing Power to keep the MAGA RICH in check. In fact, we are already seeing evidence of that Civilized War in the loss of subscriptions to WAPO! The two richest people on the planet - Musk and Bezos - stand to gain mightily if Trump wins, but lose mightily if Harris wins. We, the People can not only VOTE, we can also spend our dollars WISELY (and in a Civilized Manner). Glory Hallelujah!!
Paul, I not only applaud your suggestion but have already divested myself of my Tesla, never visited nor subscribed to X, will not resubscribe to the Washington Post BUT find it nearly impossible to reject and avoid Amazon's prodigiously useful and ubiquitous services even despite their likely harm to the planet's atmosphere and resources. It has become nearly a way of life for my spouse who does the bulk of our shopping, including bulk foods, through Amazon. The often subtle and certainly ubiquitous ways Amazon has infiltrated our lives is truly extraordinary!
Yup, Amazon is EVERYWHERE, and my wife is desperately trying to move her shopping to other venues. There ARE other choices, fortunately! It looks like my wife is targeting Target lately, and that seems to be working out! We shall see.
Yes, Paul! The minority has been electing U.S. presidents (thank you, electoral college), and members of the U.S. House (due to gerrymandering), so even the power of voting requires us to Over perform. Our Economic power is not subject to either the EC or to Gerrymandering! Even if Kamala wins (all my fingers crossed!) we still need to exercise our economic power to move the needle back to democratic rule.

Trump underperformed in 19 of 20 state primaries. If only 3% of his 2020 voters flip in blue wall and swing states, we should have a tsunami.
That's why you should be on FB repeating "not suckers or losers" as your mantra.
