A reality check. Who stopped Nixon doing nuke war? Dems? or dems?
This is a message to those that want our frontmen to do all the heavy lifting. They never have, and never will. Massive protest is what stopped Nixon doing nuke war. Every good thing that even the Dems delivered was them jumping in front of the parade. Without the parade, they will do squat. They can only do squat.

I feel we should use our dissillusionment to act. Act out. Act up. This is what growing up feels like. Allowing the press to frame us into a catatonic state, and inserting Godlike expectations into our private Dem conversation, will see us powerless. But, that is still our choice.

If the right knew damn well they would pay dearly for their traitorous ways, even if that was only Dems, they would fold. Just like Nixon did. Was anyone aware of our power? Nope. We only learned of our power years later.

Lets make them pay. It is, as always, up to us.

1. That ... and there were some saner people in government at the time who...
issued instructions at the very end NOT to obey any military orders from Nixon.

2. The mass anti-war movement in the streets and among the troops.
