(17,984 posts)So many RWNJs out there. We lost 17 Parkland kids. We don't need to lose more. I hope she is being kept safe.

on Ellen. Maybe that will keep her safe if she is considered one of many students. I think you are over-reacting, then I don't know any NRA nuts.

(130 posts)that's exactly how the RWNJs WANT us to feel--insecure, cautious, unpretentious...so that they are more easily able to spew their hatred and filth.
Should I put a "Trump Sucks, Lock Him Up" bumper sticker on my car? No..someone might become outraged and key my car, or worse, take a pot-shot at me during my morning commute...that is what I sense the mindset has become for liberals, progressives, Dems.
Fear, hate, bullying...it has worked very effectively for RWNJs...we MUST do as these children and young adults from Parkland have been doing--cast aside our fears and apprehensions so that we as a nation CAN improve, CAN advance...hell, CAN get back in line with other nations who are watching us now in their rearview mirrors.

(205,405 posts)They were impressive. I've seen Delaney Tarr since and she's emerged as an outspoken and well spoken leader. Trevor Noah was right when he said that a lot of these kids come from privilege, but it's working for them, they're not afraid to stand up and ask to see the manager. I sure hope they can make a difference since nothing else has.
Here she is on Daily Kos: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/2/27/1744641/-Yes-She-Can-Delany-Tar-blasts-and-declares-war-upon-lawmakers-we-hope-she-ll-one-day-run-against

(15,286 posts)after years of fighting for a cause.
For ex, none one expected the tide to turn in favor of gay marriage in less than a year after many years of court and political battles.
The same with recreational use of marijuana no matter how much Jeff Sessions wants to turn the clock back.
I remember when Walter Cronkite spoke against the VN war on his newscast in addition to all the pictures of the carnage being published. That turned most Americans against the war despite years of student protests.
IMO, this is what's happening with gun control. Not only are the students passionate and articulate, but now more Americans are seeing the completely unhinged speeches of NRA leadership and it's stirring them out of their previous apathy.
