On multiple occasions since the start of the second Trump administration, I have received emails from readers who have become too afraid to contact their members of Congress out of fear that doing so will result in the federal government taking retribution against them.
Over time, I got to thinking, can we be an existential threat to the racist corporate capitalist system and not be in danger of violent retaliation or false arrest? I am coming to terms with that the progressive platform is as much a civil rights movement as any.
bullies win when we back down. THEY backdown when stood up to. The first time is the hardest The second time becomes easier. By the time the 3rd tome rolls around, it is almost natural.
I can assure you bullies keep coming back. Think of this as a process, one in which the high ground starts where they do, and then gets taken over when they back down.
Be assured they do. See "tariffs/trump changing his underwear"

Bullies know no other way to “communicate” with people, because their mental development is stunted.
People who are excellent communicators have the upper hand - without ever raising their fists.
