Nazi Germany. Genghis Khan. Franco's Spain. GWB's USA. Dictators oppressing their people, getting into power little by little, fear mongering, death, destruction. It has happened before and it is happening again.

2 choices, keep trying or give up.

So what if the political climate in our country sucks and hurts us and the world and everyone? So what? there have been really bad times and really bad people throughout history and you know what? This is another of those times. It will happen again. But we must keep trying and eventually it will change back. I'm disappointed and pissed, let me tell you. And I will probably be defeated again and again and again. They may disappear me. They may oppress me. But you know what? I will keep working and trying and, like those who may have had to go underground to work for positive things, I will not give up. Yes, this sucks. Yes, we're not being represented. So what.

People overall have not learned and here we are again. Things get bad. Things get worse. Things change eventually. People suffer and die and those people are us this time. But I will not give up.
