“Real change is made by real people embracing the reality of their world and setting plans in motion to make their vision materialize. It’s not easy and won’t happen overnight, but in the end, there is the potential for tangible accomplishment. I believe that is the ultimate end that everyone desires.”

This is analogous to The American Dream. This difficult fight is what was required to maintain what we’ve now lost forever. The loss of free association (or sabotage) as an American axiom, and the loss of our collective nerve to explicitly state our intentions eg We only want X here. The “Redeemers” took back much of the south during and after reconstruction to a great degree, but we’re not able to dig their heels in legally. At some point we have to say this thing is explicitly right wing and F off to the moon if you’re not for that. Bottom up. County by county. That’s the only semi-organized way I see to utilize the ever present system.
