(9,126 posts)I have been thinking quite a lot about the Civil Rights movement and the movement in India which MLK studied extensively. How to mobilize people, how to use nonviolence, how to stand up against an overwhelming power.
I think that many Democrats in the world and DU think that change can still happen from within. The last few years have taught me that likely that is not possible. I think that Obama has been much more successful with foreign policy than with domestic because he can't touch finance. But we need to come together and push back the onslaught of whackery. I think the extreme religious positions will help that to happen strangely enough. I think people are getting extremely fed up.
But they're not ready to put down all that they have and march...yet.
