... to share those ragin' grandmas photos!

Decades of beltway group think has developed a "can't win, won't fight" impulse within our party that will only be overcome if either the old guard steps aside, or the younger folk push them aside.

There have just been too many decades of battered democratic syndrome conditioning, where the big fear has been "backlash" from the radical reactionary noise machine. I think it will take younger people who get that there is no "moderating" the message. The feared "beating" from the radical reactionaries is coming, so WTF, just stand strong for what you believe.
