Many of us find it difficult to be relentlessly positive as we watch organizations that constantly paint themselves as the epitome of democracy act in a way counter to the repeatedly-expressed will of the people. I cannot smile my way into fascism.

OK, but what does that have to do with the suggestion that saying “nothing will happen” adds no value to this conversation

  • If it's indeed the case, it adds more value than 100 comments explaining non-happening course corrections, and revolts, and backlashes they believe we'll see.

    It's useful to add some cynicism in the mix (or in this case, pragmatism)
