2. There's not an "alt-left." There's just a Left - and we're RIGHT!

The "right" in the title is meant as in "correct, accurate."

I like to use word-play like that. Perhaps the DNC should get a clue and do the same. "MAGA" sure took hold and was certainly part of propelling 45 to the White House. Along with the Russian cyber-war on our elections.

3. THAT is the spirit of civil disobedience.

Without arrests and charges, nothing is accomplished. It is the goal of civil disobedience to bring the issue into public view. Laws are broken to do that, and those who engage in civil disobedience should be happy to be charged and tried. That brings the discussion into the public forum where people can see it clearly.

That is also the part of civil disobedience that is all too often ignored.

Congratulations to all those who presented themselves to be arrested! They are true patriots.
