Reply #19: Sometimes I wonder if it's "wishful thinking" [View All]

I tell myself all of that too. But then there are times I look at the totality of it and it is just mind-boggling. It is like 50 McCarthy's, all at once. And we just hum along. I wonder what it would take for the entire country to really rise up and say STOP. I don't mean a literal civil war, but some kind of mass movement that would alter the course of events. That even Congress couldn't ignore. I kind of see signs of being in the darkness of the 50's with some undercurrents indicating a sort of "60's renaissance", but I also see signs of a willingness to continue muddling along and not rocking the boat.

Anyway, my question was actually a bit more specific. What would be a tipping point for each individual person. If "X" happened, I would be in DC tomorrow sort of thing. I really don't know what mine is, I suppose I'd have thought any number of things would have driven that response; and yet nothing has.
