As the Abolitionists might have done anything to end slavery, including fomenting revolution as John Brown did at Harper\u2019s Ferry, so many feel today.\u00a0 They see the President committing the ultimate immoral action of using children as political pawns.\u00a0 They feel that \u201cstolen\u201d children are beyond the rules of civility, and must be met with \u201cthe gloves off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The resignation of Justice Kennedy makes that desperation even greater, as their most important rights are now on the block:\u00a0 from women to LGBTQ to organizing as workers.\u00a0 In some ways the Kennedy resignation nullifies whatever results of the future November election might be; regardless of the outcome the conservatives will remain in control of the Supreme Court. It doesn\u2019t help that the Democratic leaders in the Senate like Dick Durbin are whining about being the minority, one vote short of control.\u00a0 They offer no hope.<\/p>\n<p>So what should the analogy be?\u00a0 Is our era equivalent to the pre-Civil War times?\u00a0 Is this what we must do to maintain morality, recreate the Abolitionist movement of the mid 1800\u2019s to stand against Trump\u2019s actions?\u00a0 And if we are in that sorry a state, does it mean that there is an inevitable conflict coming among Americans?<\/p>\n<p>There is the theory of revolution:\u00a0 revolutions among the people don\u2019t occur when things are at there worst.\u00a0 They occur when things get better, and then dramatically change to worse.\u00a0 It\u2019s a \u201cdarkest before the dawn\u201d idea. We went from a progressive era, represented by the Obama Presidency, to this present. \u00a0Are we at the darkest moment of this era, or will the \u201cResistance\u201d be even more aggrieved in the future?\u00a0 Are we facing a second American apocalypse, or is this \u201ccounter-revolution\u201d to progressivism a last gasp?<\/p>\n<p>Enough questions:\u00a0 my answers are also taken from American history.\u00a0While we have from time to time had extremists in control of the government, we have also ultimately rebounded back from it.\u00a0 In 1968, when the nation was rocked by assassination, anti-war protests, civil rights demonstrations, and the cultural revolution of the \u201cage of love;\u201d the nation chose Richard Nixon as President.\u00a0 It seemed like a complete reversion from the hopes and dreams that John F. Kennedy had provided.<\/p>\n<p>It was an ugly time, and would continue to be so through Watergate to the end of the Vietnam War.\u00a0 But there ultimately was a \u201cdawn\u201d after all of the darkness.\u00a0 In the same way, the darkness that \u201cResistors\u201d see now, may well change.\u00a0There is November, and the opportunity to regain Congress.\u00a0 There is the Mueller investigation, and the opportunity to find out what really happened in 2016.\u00a0 There is still hope.<\/p>\n<p>And if there is hope, there is power.\u00a0 Despite Dick Durbin\u2019s message of futility, the Resistance still can make a difference, and make a change.\u00a0 The chanting crowds in the restaurants and at the homes of Trump officials are emotionally satisfying, but they are ultimately signs of weakness and hopelessness.\u00a0Stephen Miller won\u2019t be changing his mind because of confrontation, in fact he probably went to the Mexican bar looking for it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not about civility, it\u2019s about directing energies to create change.\u00a0 We have November, focus on that.\u00a0 As the two famous phrases from the civil rights movement say:\u00a0 \u201ckeep your eyes on the prize\u201d and \u201cwe shall overcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>I watched \u201cSelma\u201d this week.\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t seen it, you should.\u00a0 It\u2019s about moral courage in an important and desperate cause \u2013 and sounds eerily like today.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Civility or Civil War Democratic member of Congress Maxine Waters spoke at a rally last weekend.\u00a0 She called on the crowd to harass Trump Administration members: \u201cIf you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/dahlman.online\/index.php\/2018\/06\/28\/civility-or-civil-war\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Civility or Civil War&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
