It takes emotional/psychological/ intellectual fortitude to wage a political revolution. They assume we’ll get tired & give up; that’s their strategy. Take short naps (cry for an hour or two, take a day off to do dumb things), pace yourself, rise up the next day & go at it again.

I think the left including all LGBT, Blacks, immigrants, and disenfranchised communities have enough fortitude to wage a revolution. But the leader matters. All revolutions needed leaders.
I think the powerful thing about what’s happening now is that it IS a leaderless movement. A spontaneous surge of the American heart. All citizens are leaders now. And fantastic progressive Congressional candidates are running this year. We need to support them!

if we successfully elect progressive reps, they need to be kept in check constantly or else lobbyists are gonna buy them off.

This is a headless movement, just like what happened in Egypt and was either hijacked or went nowhere. Social Media are the sole means of communications in headless movements so they can be very easily go wrong.
