They say it's darkest before the dawn. That's not actually true, but it is dark. We'll find out as Nov 8th approaches that things are getting a little brighter. But darkness isn't the time to give up. As Josey Wales coached his team, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, you gotta get mean. Always remember they want you to give up.

We're fortunate that most of the disciples of the regime are stupid, and simply following a fad. And we're fortunate that those fad followers are fickle. They will tire of the oppression soon and will shift their support to the next "thing." We need to encourage them to make that shift.

My favorite tool is ridicule. Everyone should watch Jackie Mason tapes to hone their insults. Engage them on twit, at town council meetings, school board meetings, bars, churches. I wear a MAGA pin just to remind them its not their world. Only a few want this decay. We can handle them.

You have captured the entire mess in your essay. What a succinct message in essentially a

few words. Bravo! I say you have nailed it. Thanks to you. I will be passing this on because

it is so important for people to read this. It does capture what people are thinking and

feeling and fearing, and it is important for people to know they are not alone or crazy

as we all face a dire future. I have read all your books now. The theme in them is freedom

and courage to be true to oneself. My favorite is, The Rebel, which I have read twice.
