When wil we be allowed to be angry and scared about the apparent future?

[FrodosNewPet]

At the risk of getting another post removed for insufficient optimism...I am worried about the future.

Will decent people EVER get excited and energetic? Or will we have to wait until the pain suffered by the precious and the frail have to be so overwhelming that we cannot live with ourselves?

Will we even get excited then? Or will any and all expressions of passion and energy have to go through several studies and committees? Obviously detailed linguistic analysis will have to be performed to provide acceptable messaging.

We are about to lose our nation to the orcs and all we can do is navel gaze?

3. Last I heard, patience is still expected

Patience and faith. Nothing else.




I wish that weren't so.

4. The Time is Now. When they have come for our human rights.

When they have come for our human rights, patience is an unaffordable luxury.

When black voters feared the tampering with the Voting Rights Act, many said they were over-reacting. But the Supreme Court came for the voting rights.

Now they have come for our human rights. Patience is not an option.

5. DU is a cauldron of doom every day.

It’s not doomy enough?

8. Right.

Republicons and christo-fascists will all have epiphanies and work to reverse their rancid actions of the last few decades.

Billionaires will start paying a fair share of taxes. Corporations will also, as well as becoming model corporate citizens. Every employee will be well-paid and the environment will be repaired.

And we'll all live happily ever after. Better?

9. Fear not, I'm sure there's another baby formula thread just around the corner.

And plenty more threads from various posters about their health problems.

10. Women's choice, gone. Marriage equality, gone. Punching down is their passion

Please show me the sunny news here?

11. Oh please. It was doom central before any of that shit happened.

12. The orcs know what they are doing now more than ever

But hey let's put on a pot of chamomile and just tell ourselves "it will all be fine! No need to get upset! Good always prevails!"

Horse*bleep*

They have energy and enthusiasm. We have a bad NPR parody.

6. I've been angry since Reagan when all of this started

Get involved at the local level and start there to help stop the bleeding.

7. DU is more a discussion site than an activist site.

I share the frustration of original poster.
