3. Fear & Control is THE right-wing thing

when people are filled with fear, they turn toward "strong" leaders.

When they have courage, they turn toward hopeful, visionary leaders.

America may be the home of the brave, but the republicans have turned FEAR into a hugely profitable concession for themselves, and they - and others gripped by fascist tendencies - will continue to exploit the FEAR they wallow in. But even in the dark hours, courage shall not fail.
