From The impossible has happened”<\/a> Washington Post<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n They’re celebrating Trump’s victory on election night, and if you look at them one way, yes, they do look like Hitler youth. But look again – they really look like your kids – or the kids in your neighborhood. They’re just kids.<\/p>\n Don’t make them – and everyone who supported Trump, even the ones who are older and should be wiser – hate us more. All us old hippies; pinkos; lefties; punk rockers; Black people; Asians; Latinos; Native Americans; anyone who looks not quite white, including the Jews; Muslims; Gays; Lesbians; Transgender; liberal, educated, white elitists who drink fancy coffee out of reusable travel mugs; people who believe climate change is real; people who ride bikes and try not to drive cars – older women who remind them of their mom, and that strict teacher who told them what to do, and yup, Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n Give Trump a chance to get into office and disappoint them all. Let them start hating HIM – not us. Especially with the Republicans in charge, and guns laws getting overturned – they’re all gonna be armed.<\/p>\n Work within the system – for those who remember the 60’s and 70s, that was the mantra back then – and when the backlash against Trump happens, we can take back the government.<\/p>\n Run for office yourself. Find an organization that is doing what your believe and support them – League of Women Voters<\/a>, 350.org<\/a>, Human Rights Campaign<\/a> – there’re only about a million of them.<\/p>\n Make love, not war.<\/p>\n Listen to our old heros – the late Phil Ochs<\/a> and Tom Hayden<\/a>; and other old guys who are still writing, like Garrison Keillor<\/a>.<\/p>\n Stop marching. Don’t make them hate us. Make them hate Trump. Please. Thank you.<\/p>\n
