How pitiful has the right wing become if they cannot sustain this kind of momentum for another six months?

Jim Plunkett @JimP32This is because, while the 'protests' may have started in sympathy, they're now a Right-Wing+Russian operation
Calls for "Cease Fire" are now calls for "Intefada!!" (=terrorism), & literal genocide of Jews
They're trying to:
recreate 1968,
elect a criminal POTUS, &
sink Dems for decades

Must still treated it as extremely dangerous
Even if the RW cannot sustain, the Russian backers certainly can
We must get the student protesters either informed that they are patsies or bored so it becomes obvious that outside agitation is driving it (note no protests for RU genocide on UKR)

The boredom will happen on its own. As our own Kayla pointed out yesterday, summer is around the corner and with it, the loss of a student body for cover.
And since have Russian backers been good at spending their money wisely?

Russia got likely the best bang-for-the-buck in history for their ops since ~2014
SocMed, Dezinfomatsiya, purchasing Republicans, & Active Measures. They got TFG in office for a term, have undermined Dems & Biden, delayed Ukraine Aid by 16 months, global 'protests' undermine democracy everywhere

Unless the end goal of total conquest of Ukraine and/or US is achieved, it's money down the drain. Nor will it keep THEIR country from disintegrating.

They've been making astonishing progress on both for 10yrs
Would you have believed in 2014 that we'd be deeply worried about our democracy in 2024?
Yes, RU doesn't even have the 2nd best army in Ukraine, but unless the West gets the will to fight, we will lose
They're eroding that will to fight

Ukraine gets hit harder than we do on a daily basis and they're still fighting. Pretty sure we can manage the same, given how much shambles the GOP puppets are currently in.

YES, we CAN win
But the answer is not yet written
In Ukraine, the fight is obvious, they don't, they die
Here, many think they have the luxury of things like stupid protest, 3rdPtys, voting for TFG b/c it'll "shake things up" or "stick it to -whoever-"
There are $$billions exploiting that idiocy

I repeat: billions do not mean a goddamn thing if the people spend their money badly. The 3rd party push has flopped. The protesters will be gone by the end of May. And whatever money the RNC has will go to the Broken Orange Man's pocket.
So quit trying to scare me with boogeymen.

Yes, there are signs that things are starting to move in the right direction
You think that is all by chance?
NO, it is because people, incl Biden admin, are working like mad to set things right
Public also must do their part
Stop trying to sell false complacency
Celebrate AFTER the finish line

Funny how that charge of "complacency" always comes up whenever I point out how we're doing good. I don't need fear to keep me focused on finishing them off. I got enough contempt and hatred to let me do what is necessary.
Cowering before them or their goals is NOT vigilance.

Ya, hard to distinguish & put nuance in 300 chars, misinterpretation...
100%: cowering is not necessary, vigilance is
As we discuss, seems we're actually aprox. on the same page, just looking at it from different angles?
Seems we both thing winning is possible, even likely, if we work?

Yeah, that's it exactly. Goddamn, do I hate it when discussions like this go this sideways.
For what it's worth, I'm sorry and apologize for all I said. Every time I hear of how people talk up how "dangerous" this crowd is, it sounds to me like they want to give up.
But not us, right?

Exactly!
To me, danger is a call to action (e.g., when things are OK, I can focus on something else)
Of course, you're right, ppl have a range of responses; (oversimplifying science) it's Fight, Flight, of Freeze
Sometimes 300char brevity is great for communication, but other times, whattamess!
