I agree. I did this four years ago and somewhat softened toward the end. That’s just it —they count on our anger dissipating. Then you’ll eventually go back to pulling the cart. The GOPe will throw another lackluster candidate up there, they’ll throw us a bone with a decent VP pick and it’ll be Lucy with the football all over again as the Communists more brazenly steal every election.
You said it, “they count on the anger dissipating” DO NOT LET IT GO! Let it fester and boil and become even deeper and more resentful... I am not being sarcastic.
Take what you will from this: Growing up I was big for my age. I went to a small school. 8th grade and up played high school football. My friend was a year older than me. We played ball together until he went to 8th grade. I had always been able to clean his clock in the blocking pit because I was bigger. I moved to 8th grade still bigger than him but he cleaned my clock now until I learned how to get angry and mean but only for football. It paid off.
Attitude is everything in battle. You either always play to win or you lose.
Be resolute, do without things. Starve the beast. Take care of your own and prepare because starving the beast will have consequences.
