“…or else we didn’t win anything at all.”
WWdN: In Exile: “…or else we didn’t win anything at all.”
Wil sees. Maybe. I hope that many others who feel the same way and want to gloat and be angry at those who did that same stuff to us, see. You become that hate if you continue it. Just on the other end of the spectrum. You are no better than those who hated us/you.
We are better than that.

I do agree. (disclosure: busy so just scanned Wil’s post) Was talking with SO about this yesterday. There’s been so much sh*t shoveled down our throats, so much anger, so much disappointment and depression.
But that’s the easy path. The divisive path (that, by the way, has historically — at least during my lifetime — has cut the throats of the progressives as they fragment off with their “my way, my idea, my cause is most important”. Not all. Some. Bah–there’s a whole essay there, so I’ll stop.
It’s too easy to luxuriate in righteous anger and bile. But we have a president-elect who has clearly said that the time for that is past. I’ll still sneak off and read blogs that poke fun at the most eggregious balloonheads on the other side. But my task is to pull together with all my brothers and sisters. I’ll try and remember my words, now, and act upon them.
That said, I’ve been a lazy bast@rd the last couple of days and will need to discipline myself. I jotted down a quote from an interview with Michelle Obama. “It feels a bit daunting until you have your plan.”
