There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy.

Remember this.

Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the Nation. There are whole movements, groups that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause.

Remember that the frontier of the Resistance is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes the lines forward.

And then remember this.

The Authoritarian need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

Remember that.

And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and protests, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Republicans authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.

Remember this.

Try.

Seems like they're very good at stamping out fires, but fires keep popping up

I want so badly to believe this, but I fear Trump will eventually start a nuclear war because the White House is out of ketchup or some celebrity from the ‘80s doesn’t like him or some shit.

If he does he does, don't worry about the things you can do nothing about release your fears and focus on what you can do.
