Re-read the Powell manifesto. It puts the definition, guard rails, and boundaries around these non-thinking people. Powell was right - if you can seize the local administration, you can control the entire system, from dog-catcher to President. You just have to be patient, because the effect of grinding people down takes decades, not weeks, months, or years. Decades.

Jeff, you are 100% correct. There is nothing - absolutely nothing - we can do to save these minions. We must save ourselves. We certainly have the numbers. We're way more numerous than them. We just have to set our sights on doing the long, hard, incredibly difficult job of kicking them to the curb. They have a right to exist, a right to have their idiocy as a way of life. They DON'T have a right to take that idiocy and make it the acceptable standard for how WE live and move and have our being.

I assume you mean this. https://scholarlycommons.law.wlu.edu/powellmeRmo/ I have a feeling most people have never heard of this. I knew about it years ago, but never read. I heard Ralph Nader recently. One of the things he talked about was this memo. He was the only person mentioned.

Jeff- check out Newport Mesa school board candidate Andrea McElroy. She’s exactly what you describe, and is being endorsed by the likes of Lisa Davis and Mari Barke. Her IG is McElroy4NMUSD. She needs to be exposed.

Her husband made lots of money in the surf industry, and I don’t think people are paying enough attention to her campaign. Full MAGA.

I think what you mentioned at the end was correct. You are never going to convince these people about how .evil Trump is. This isn't necessarily about Trump but what is happening and what will happen. I used to listen to this great podcast that was hosted by some New York radio station in Westover. Every week he had these two constitutional law professors. The professors taught at the Cooley College in Tampa. This might have been two years ago. but one of them said if we ended up where we are right now, it wouldn't be long before the government took every ones guns away. It's what dictators do. I am reading a book called the Fifth Risk published in 2018. It is about the transition from the Obama administration to Trump. In short the people who Trump put in place to run things had no idea how things worked. The heads of agencies had no clue what their agencies did. They would not talk anyone that worked in those agencies. No one in Doge knows anything about the agencies they are gutting. And to further depress everyone you should read this article. https://chrishedges.substack.com/p/american-concentration-camps

Absolutely correct. There is no reasoning with a lunatic. We need to spend our time in discussions with sane people who have legitimate reasons for how they feel - even if we don’t agree with them. Let the nutcases go their own way, and instead let’s expand one another’s minds. Democracy is about the free exchange of ideas, after all.
