If its about the 'Just Say No!' and 'Get to a Free-state' campaigns, I see how a first reaction might be "What about us men?" Indeed, men and women will suffer this tactic, alike. But It's the only thing I can think of, and its all in the hands of women to do. Men can support them, but that's all.

I gave up on this too soon. It seems Rep. Pocan @pocan.house.gov is doing just what I suggested successfully. NOW IT'S UP TO THE REST OF US TO CALL OUR OWN LOCAL DEM HQs AND REPS AND TELL THEM TO DO IT!, & for them to push the idea up to the DNC as a national tactic. DO IT NOW!

I'm sorry to say that is not at all what I've suggested. Educative to some, perhaps, but mostly speaking to the choir. What I suggest is actually hosting Town Halls for red voters, going and listening to them, answering their questions, honestly. Not giving them a Dem's vision. Much more effective.

If you're asking who should host Town Halls for Republicans, to hear their grievances and answer questions Republicans are refusing to, I think every Congressperson should go to any red districts near them, all across the country. We should host them everywhere. Let them know we will listen.

This broadside is kind of obsolete - poems/stories/art will still be taken and received, but people should simply go to this group and join it,
www.facebook.com/groups/pad.a...

they can post their voices to the Dark Ages there.

Sorry, we just handed over unlimited power to a Mad King. Those projects will need to be postponed for a little while. A thousand years or so. That's the typical length of a Dark Ages.
March 4, 2025 at 6:51 PM
The game was always there, right in front of us. We've ignored the warnings for 150 years. Now, it's too little, too late, as usual. The Dark Ages have arrived.

Sorry, your apology is not accepted. The free world will leave you to your own self-inflicted misery. No trade, no travel, no communications at all. You've infected enough of the world already.

yes, and Fox keeps blah, blah, on Biden and the election, because there is nothing else they can remotely talk about that isn't shit, and all their viewers know it is. Look at their Town Halls, that's just the tip of learning you've been conned.

If someone/group would organize/implement this, we might also substantially stop buying MAGA/Trump-supporting products and services,

A Mad King with unlimited power doesn't worry much about what Congress or the courts do. They are just smokescreens for legitimacy that he can ignore and sweep away whenever he wants. We're very mislead if that's the scoreboard we pay attention to.
March 4, 2025 at 6:14 PM
But this tactic goes unnoticed by the DNC. They're not very good a putting away the 'normal times' playbook. Always, too little, too late.

Need is a full 'Shadow Government' made up of past and present leaders who can provide a running picture of what's happening and news - a shadow 'POTUS', CONGRESS & SCOTUS. At the top of @timothysnyder.bsky.social's list, but I don't see him or anyone else lifting a finger to make is so.

or this,

Sadly, all of us in the states mis the fact that this has been going on for a very long time, this agenda chipping away at the foundations of our democracy, imperfect as it is. For 150 years we've been ignoring the warning signs, always responding with too little, too late.
March 4, 2025 at 5:55 PM
nor any of our Mad King's court. They are actually doing a pretty good job of what they were really hired to do,
March 4, 2025 at 9:50 AM
Same tactic I'm using with you. No attempt to persuade you, or compromise. Just listening, asking, and explaining as best I can. Leave it to you to compare the arguments. Do you have a better idea? What do we have to lose by showing them the difference of how we respond to them. That's all.

Better to learn about the methodical tyranny of Augustus Caesar than the megalomaniacal savagery of a Hitler. When the crude 'shock&aw' period of our Mad King is over, and it morphs into the long-term strategies of a tyrannical Dark Ages, the reign of Augustus will prove far more informative.
March 2, 2025 at 11:26 PM
I think I'm going to have to say those "misguided" include all of us. The chipping away at our Constitution, our democracy, and the human project, imperfect as it is, has been going on for 150 years (1886 was a landmark year). The flags and warning have been there all along, and we ignored them.
March 2, 2025 at 10:58 PM
yes, but its the other arm, two legs and a penis that I worry about. Who do those belong to? Musk might own one, but that still leaves 2 other appendages that remain in the shadows.
