It's in our DNA in huge numbers when things get bad because ultimately, most of us refuse oppression, discrimination, exploitation, and evil and choose instead to embrace freedom and democracy.
There are some among us who don't get that yet, but they will soon see how powerful and effective it is. Paraphrasing Billy Wimsatt, Executive Director of the Movement Voter PAC the day after the election, we have what it takes to meet and overcome this moment as our elders and ancestors did under unthinkably difficult circumstances. We can draw on their strength and wisdom as we chart our way forward and join what is likely to be one of the largest resistance movements in history.
For now, we must take a breath and remember all we did together to avert this outcome. In that spirit let's comfort each other as we regroup before continuing the fight for a compassionate country grounded in equality, justice, and sustainable freedom and democracy.
