I agree about the worldwide part and that is what gives me hope in times of despair. Democracy will survive, just maybe not in the US for several generations. And maybe once it's gone it will be forever. When we started out as a nation it was much harder for freedom loving folks to find a free nation where people were indeed valued for their character, not the color of their skin or size of their bank account. Now it is considerably easier to find a welcoming home so it may be freedom living folks simply don't want to live here anymore. So we for sure need to work on saving democracy in the US but also help the rest of the world!
Pat, thanks for your valuable thoughts. This is why I have gone from quiet supporter to more vocalized and in addition to making significant contributions to Meidas and its plethora of growing freedom fighting channels, as well as, physically joining in protests right up to the point of approaching physical arrest in order to beat back this total fraud tyrant Trump.
Sadly I am in a position where I choose not to actively (meaning in pubic) support the resistance. I live in a very red very maga area where it is fine to retaliate against anyone who does not support trump. So I greatly appreciate your courage to get out there and do things. If ther retaliation were only against me I might be willing to do stuff but I have animals and kids and grand kids. And yes I often think about the poem about how we didn't do anything when they came after the jews and that I should be willing to sacrifice my animals and kids but I'm not at that point yet. It's quite a dilemna...I have a horse sanctuary and I promised the horses I'd provide them a safe home till they died, and I know they don't really know I made that promise but I did and I can't go back on that. I spent my early professional years working in the criminal justice system (actually sort of focusing on prison reforms) and based on what was going on way back then, in women's prisons..most women were in for minor things like bad checks or killing their husbands, and I wonder sometimes if protestors get arrested if the company in prison would be better than the company in the local evangelical churches around here....much better conversations I'm sure. Many many thanks for all you do and for all the brave folks out there on the front lines with you.
Pat, I appreciate your situation. The support you give to us and Meidas as well as social media all add up. Everyone needs to do as much as they can in order to bring sensibility and humanity back to America. The world is watching.
Love all you guys are doing to be a beacon for not just America's democracy, but those struggling for freedom worldwide! Go Meidas Mighty!!
