This is for sure needed! There are a significant portion of the moderately Republican who only align that way because it's "ego" for them. They really think the only way to be strong is to be an a**. When I look at myself and my circle and realize how many of us fought... a lot... and are trained in boxing and martial arts.

In the MAGA mind, to be Progressive means to talk to flowers and daydream all day instead of living in reality and building. WE KNOW HOW POWERFUL WE ARE and all the strong and powerful people with Progressive minds are the builders who build without apology and no need for fanfare and confetti everytime we get something done.

Some of the borderline Republicans really just want to be there for the fanfare and pats on the back. That's their motivation. To feel like they are with "the winners"

One of my friends compared them to middle school mentality and I agree. They attach themselves to the bully to seek safety and because they don't feel strong unless they are putting someone else down.

STRENGTH IS BEING A PROTECTOR AND A BUILDER.

This needs to be the motivational calling card and message that we shout boldly. And when necessary, we gotta remember that our ancestors were fighters and builders and we have always been the same. We cannot shy away from that or sweep it away.

Fighting is social skills magnified. You have to read your partner, interpret, then respond. V...it is actually old school, not futuristic.
