42. Americans respond well to "angry" messages

Fri Oct 19, 2018, 01:25 PM

Oct 2018

FDR's "This day will live in infamy" speech. Also his "Only thing we have to fear is fear itself" -- also very high on the aggression meter like he was going to war with the Depression, which he kinda did. Then there's JFK's defiant "We choose to go to the Moon speech"

Its not Conservatives who get going when leaders show anger or aggression, its a human thing.

Joe Scar isn't wrong here. The Democrats are too nice with the thuggish Republicans. We need to get mean and uncompromising.

Yes, uncompromising. The Republicans do not compromise with us, they don't even think they are here to serve us. They haven't negotiated with the Democratic Party in good faith for decades, which started when Newt Gingrich won Speaker of the House in 1994. They have seen us as the enemy since then, and treated us as the enemy.

Get mad, make noise, go vote, bring your pals, also good and angry with you to the polls and VOTE!
