28. dueling quotes
We don't appeal often enough to love I agree.

“Anger at injustice is the political expression of love.” MLK

Don't dwell on anger. Harness it, draw power from it if you are able. People who suppress their anger may not just be less healthy but also more likely to die prematurely.

Those who want to suppress anger or wish it away are making us sick.

Suppressing anger of the masses has put us on a fast track to fascism. Despite acknowledging the opposing POV may be well meaning, it is still reinforcing the status quo of injustice in this country. Progressives are going to need to get aggressive. I don't see any other light coming from the Dem Party.
