    Desperation. The GOP has plenty of nothing in the offing. Unfortunately, there are a lot of dupes out there willing to settle for nothing.

    “You should be ready to refute it as hard and as often as you need to with your more conservative and gullible relatives.” I’ve tried. Oh how I’ve tried. It’s no use. All that happens is they look at me like I’m some crazy aunt. They need to be left to linger where they are, [...]

    Egypt is an inspiration for us, but not a model. We need to develop a model
    suited to our peculiar problems, which are manifold and so deeply embedded in our system they are hard to ferret out. Rather than taking on the beast with mass demonstrations in Washington D.C. (led by an array of interest groups each with their own message and demands), we have to work in the microcosm on a local level, in each neighborhood, town by town, state by state, and we need to retool the Internet to help us do that.

    The problem is, huge demonstrations like what we’ve seen in Egypt have mass appeal because they are so dramatic, but the long, hard slog to reclaim our democracy in the U.S. will take more endurance and toughness.
