It is foolhardy to think that Donald Trump or Ted Cruz or anyone else can save what’s left of America. We are on the verge of Civil War, a war that will not end well. The only way to prevent an all out slaughter is to have that war earlier rather than later: in the streets. There should be push back, measure for measure, and then some. If Occupy puts ten thousand in the streets, the Right must put fifty thousand in the streets. Reciprocate, and overwhelm. May I offer the words of that great Black father of our party, Fredrick Douglas: “If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will”.
Perhaps - but that shouldn't stop us from striving to do everything we can to make a difference - the good fight is worth fighting even if the chances of success are slim.
I love Frederick Douglas and what he stood for (along with Booker T. Washington). We are probably doomed, if for no other reason than we haven't the stamina of those who work against us.
