An article in the Daily Beast got me to thinking. We do need a positive name for the anti fascist

[Augiedog]

anti trump movement. Michael Tomaskey wrote a well thought out piece in the daily beast today that extols the virtue of a good, positive name for any movement that wants to be understood at a glance. He uses the Tea Party name as his prime example of a group whom you can, at a glance, understand all that they are attached to ideologically. Two words conveying an entire relationship.

We need this same, effective, moniker. Several have been occurring in a default manner such as the Resistance. But as he rightly points out, this has a somewhat negative and defensive frame of reference. He offered no suggestions, which considering the thoughtfulness of the article, surprised me. So of course I have an ideal. I'm sure you do too. Here is mine.

The American Spirit, or conversely the Spirit of America. The clarifier Movement can be added at the end of either providing us with A.S.M or S.A.M. Which sort of rolls toward the notion of Uncle Sam.

Anyone with other ideas, thoughts?

1. No need for jingles. "RESIST." is concise and to the point.

[Cracklin Charlie]

11. Yes

12. "Resist" doesn't have much of a goal. It is only the struggle, not the reward.

Yes, we have to resist, but to what end? I think the point of the article is to give people something positive to aim towards. What will we attain for ourselves if we resist?

14. The goal is to wake the 46% of eligible voters who could not be bothered to vote even though

they witnessed a maniac on the campaign trail for 18 months. We must fight disruption with disruption to attract that 46%'s attention. That is the reward. If it were merely about facts, we wouldn't find ourselves in this mess to begin with.

8. We are The Indivisibles.

9. One Nation Indivisible, was the original pledge before tampering by theocrats.

When the theocrats got the words of the pledge changed in the 1950s to "one nation under God, indivisible" it changed the meaning away from a seamless united nation into a theocracy.

The change also suited the "states rights" segregationists who used religion to justify inequality.

Might be time to return to the One Nation Indivisible.

4. Democracy Movement sounds good to me. Rule of Law also works.

6. The True American Values movement.

7. The Enlightened Americans Party?? (T.E.A. Party)

Or we could just stick with WOLVERINES!!

10. American Values Forward - AVF

Values as in facts, equality, fairness, justice, peace, and freedom

Not what the RW calls values which are bigotry, homophobia, misogyny, and selfishness, war, torture, prevarication, and freedumb

13. Indivisible Eagles

Wear the Great Seal with its apt inscription: "E pluribus unum" - Out of many, one.

Totally patriotic. Totally rocks. Thanks to KittyWampus for the image idea.
