(4,341 posts)George Orwell "1984"
"WAR IS PEACE"
"FREEDOM IS SLAVERY"
"IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH"
Watch out for rhetoric that addresses those three...
People need to stop a defeating attitude as if we did not have the power, and only they do...we have the power to slowly but surely allow those who failed to see the truth during the election and realize what is happening and where we are going. That is our strength, and then we can change things in the voting booths, we can do our own lobbying to make sure the Democratic Party becomes more proactive in protecting our elections.
When I talk about a defeating attitude I am referencing some post that say things like "trump and his ilk are going to destroy the country", and yes that van be true if we let them, but they have not yet and they won't because we all need to do something about it, and the best place to start is to talk to those who have failed to see the truth, and who are ignoring what is happening.
Don't give up, the alternative is not good.
