4. I agree! We have to speak up.

I'm so glad you started this thread.

We Democrats have been polite and censored our conversations too long, while allowing Republican family, neighbors, co-workers, and everybody else to believe lies and fantasies.

We need to politely but firmly start bringing up the ways in which Republican laws and policies are hurting us and others. In the moment, when we have the chance. Calmly, not rude or hysterical, just stating facts.

The old rule about not discussing politics needs to be retired. It's on.
