I think that's the thing: do you want to be on the right side of history or not?
We need everyone we can get in this fight against a fascist takeover.
If your first instinct to someone being politically mobilized by all this is to give them a sneering "well, what took you so long?" you don't actually care about our winning this; you just want to be able to say you were right.

As it continues to snow, the work I did earlier is already covered. At least I can say I was out there to keep the neighbors happy

Fun fact .. I put this song on a mix tape which I gave to my ex-girlfriend when I was attempting to woo her.
She clearly liked it as we're a few months off our 20 year wedding anniversary! 🎶 😊
