8. But who?

Thanks for the reply.

I posted an image from the fantasy film "FDR, American Badass" and caught flak for reasons to do with his faults (like internment camps, a horrible and detestable decision) I suspect, from the trolling, that it was the infamous Brooklynite under another nom de plume.

Anyway, here's the pic, with Barry Bostwick of "Rocky Horror Picture Show" fame as Brad (who can forget Brad and Janet?)



Just to say, that's the kind of energy that's needed.

It's not that great charisma is needed. What's needed is whatever it takes to

• Unite
• Organize effectively, and
• Inspire

Ability to pull others in who belatedly figured out that they'd been horribly scammed (and who own up to their mistake) is a big plus.

Whatever "future political considerations" people have that holds them back is moot to me.

Unless this Hitler is stopped, there is no political arena left.

Every day lost in silence and every little concession gives the dark force more power.

There's no time like right now to stop it.

My time machine says so. Read history and learn or read history and repeat it.

P.S. FDR's floating white house, the USS Potomac, is tied up and fully operational at Jack London Square in Oakland, CA.
I have visited it. Perhaps people need to take a little time trip to remind themselves how precious our democracy is and how hard people fought to preserve it, rather than destroy it.
