How much it can persuade those not converted remains to be seen. Should we be selling hats?

It could be too late. republicans control EVERYTHING. So I doubt even if the results are overwhelmingly in our favor, Democrats will "win".

But, we do have to get as many people to vote as possible just in case there can be fair elections.

Saw a LOT more young people at our local protest yesterday. And they were having a GREAT time. Faces beaming as they mingled with us geezers who have taken part in more than a couple big protest social movements over the decades. You could see the pride in the demonstration of democracy in action. Won't take much to make them welcome in the efforts to overturn GOP rubber stamping of fascism as we shift into 2026 mid-term contests.

Listen to them. Make sure they are heard. Put their good ideas into practice. Lift them up. Respect them and encourage their efforts and innovations.

We aren't gonna live forever and we need to make sure the young are well prepared to take their place in the history yet to be written.
