Disturbing People near Lewes, DE yesterday

45. The High Road leads to hell

Look where it's gotten us.

The red tribe and the blue tribe are dug in.

In some ways, the OP can feed the red team's martyr complex. Reich-wingers love to play victim. I've had that feeling in anti-war, anti-racism rallies myself: getting the finger validates me.
On the other hand, it's useful to let them know that they aren't raking in the whole pot.
Hate the message, love the messenger comes to mind, but I can't bring myself to love the violent, hateful people who respond to the Reich-wing message. Creatures of the id, to quote Forbidden Planet.

I'd rather educate working people that the true issue is the obscenely rich against the rest of us. The ob rich love to play divide and conquer, using race, gender, etc. But education is long and tedious. "Fuck you" is short and sweet.

We're in a bumper sticker war of words. Sweet reason does not trump the emotional hot buttons that the Right knows how to push oh so well.

I'm not so concerned with Team Red which is busy digging trenches and putting up barbed wire (plus locking and loading). I'm much more concerned with the 1/3 of USians who don't think it's worth voting. A firm show of resistance and commitment via "Fuck you!" might motivate them. Policy statements won't.
