re: #302 dangerman

i get that
and in a sense, leaving is not only surrendering the present, it is also ceding them the future

and country is a thing worth fighting for

as i said, im starting to feel that my ‘country’ is no longer recognizable to me
you know my feelings - liberty and justice for all, universal human rights.

if the patch of dirt collectively called the united states is less and less the champion of that ethos, what does ‘my country’ mean?

(yes i know, quite a rabbit hole and one we probably shouldnt venture too far down today….)

There have been darker days in the past. For example July 21, 1861, when it looked like the Republic could literally fall to an army just across the Potomac. But we didn’t surrender to despair, and though enormous sacrifices had to be made in the years to come the Republic was saved. In contrast, all we have to do is get our butts to the polling stations and vote. We are the majority people, act like it!
