Apropos of this possible fight, I am reminded of an incident early in the Korean War, when the onslaught of the North Korean army had cornered the US army occupation forces into a small area at the southern tip of the Korean peninsula. Reinforcements were coming, the troops were told, just hang on..... An army captain clipped a bayonet to his M1 Garand rifle and stuck it into the bank of the river they were defending. He said, "Easy Company stands or dies on the Naktong River....." We currently are on the Naktong - if we lose the upcoming fights for what we believe in, for the improvement of the human condition, the Republicans will make sure we can never again challenge their minority control of the country.....it really is that simple.
...and the enemy had managed to sneak in covered by the darkness, lacking everything except the will to fight. No reasoning, no morals, no care for democracy, no care for the people, with ill spirited allies. That simple, yes.
Just read The Way to Unfreedom, by Timothy Snyder, the chapter where he explains in detail just how much the presidency of Trump was a fabrication of Russia, with the new tools of internet and sharp analysis of existing flaws in US democracy.
I am however encouraged by the very heavy turnout in Georgia, reportedly even better than the heavy turnout in 2020.....if we can do this in November and help as many people as possible get to vote, we can overcome all the hurdles the opposition has thrown up.....
