(6,843 posts)Sorry, but I hate this theme. It's like the kid at school who is convinced his intellect will spare him from the bully. Doesn't work.

(29,715 posts)ICE knew IBEW was serious and that if it came to a fight, the ICE guy would not have a easy time, he knew it. He felt fear. He stepped back.

(6,843 posts)A menacing stare with the threat of violence is not "peaceful".
I'm tired of peaceful protests, going high, and bearing them at the ballot box.
Meanwhile they play dirty and fuck us. How about we quit bringing a knife to a gun fight

(29,715 posts)I don't think it was a threat of violence from IBEW, I think of it more as I won't back down. That's what you're looking for, isn't it? Not backing down?
BTW how old are you? I'm 71 and when I began this journey as a young woman, I was given sage advice. This is a marathon, this is not a sprint. You can never let your guard down, which we did after the end of Vietnam. But in one way or another, I have been trudging along keeping them in check or fighting like hell in every way I can think of. Currently, I write a newspaper column and work to inform others and encourage us to all work.
But, in order to hope for a legit answer, we MUST GOTV. Carry registration forms in your car, you never know who needs to be registered.
And what dirty trick could we do that would top ANYTHING they do?

(6,917 posts)Being a caring person is a sign of moral STRENGHT. Republicans have one tool--to paint liberals as "snowflakes"---and must be shown strenght to win that propaganda battle.
Those too young to know were not there to witness how the Vietnam War protests turned in favor of protesters, when VVAW-Vietnam Veterans Against the War joined the protests.
The hard right had Nixon cronies, we had Vietnam Veterans.
The optics turned on a dime.
