Building a civilization is harder than you think. You're being lazy by not putting the work in to make things better.

Do you think all the forces at play that have led us here will magically go away after it all burns down? You're either dangerously naive, stupid, or have an ulterior motive.

I don’t. Do you think they’ll go away if you vote?

Of course not. But that's not the only action I would suggest.

Get involved at the ground level. Meet with people from other county groups and run for things or support local candidates that you believe in. Meet with higher level groups and give them a heads up that the base is much more left than the top, and that we need more than lip service going forward.

We have to grab the party and haul it away from the money trough. Conservatives won't give up, neither should we.
