14. Good question. We all need to face this

They have stolen and will steal again. We know that. So will the midterms be our line in the sand? Or do we just accept election theft again --and accept a future of more of the same?

I don't think so. I don't think people can take much more abuse by this rogue regime. So I think there would be an immediate reaction. I do not advocate violence--as the experts have said, violence would only bring more oppression and turn a lot of people against us. And nobody really wants violence. I think it has to be massive protests, strikes, all sorts of non-violent actions. A large number must object, by the best means available to each person. This is a good time to solidify networks, info sources, friends and neighbors--organize yourself and others. Reach out to every single person you can't think of who doesn't bother voting or thinks it doesn't work--get them out to vote! That is the only way we are going to know what our support really is and make it harder for them to steal. NOT the time to give up. Actually in fighting Fascism, there's no good time to give up.

Yes absolutely indusurb! We need to be thinking about what we would do the day after the midterms. Know the Enemy--but also know your friends.
