I have been reflecting a bit and humbly and with some trepidation expressing opinion in a vanity post earlier this week.

Non violent resistance is the only reasonable starting place. It isn’t right to hate or hurt others, but if non violent resistance is met with violence, escalation is likely.

I suspect propaganda and spreading fear will be used to suppress any protest movement that could arise but harsher measures than those used by Bull Connor are likely.

In 1961 some of the Freedom Riders got a taste of harsh prison life at Mississippi’s Parchman Prison.

I support Ted Cruz and a sober and sane third party alternative to the GOP, but the Republican Party will not as an institution oppose the tyranny that has descended upon us.

Actually, that is the precise plan that Gandhi used. To great effect..
