El of LA: Ok, Anthropological opinion on US History and experience: It is somewhat comforting to realize that we as a people have continually fought against the forces of authoritarianism and fascism and have won the fight so far. It gives me a small hope that we'll win this round also.

Happy fourth

I really want to believe that, but this feels like 50+ years of dominoes set up by the right wing that are starting to fall faster. Even if we eventually "win", lots and lots of people are being and will be crushed under them in the meantime.

We have to give up liberal BS like blind adherance to civility and decorum to do it

I am & always will be a pacifist. I am & always will be anti-fascist + an activist for it. I am & always will be working to see democracy win. I am & always will be willing to accept what looks like dire consequences for these beliefs. I will fight, but I will also have hope, as Obama asked us for.
