1. It is like the internet, a thousand ideas, some amplified and repeated till

a multitude of themes bubble up. And the authoritarian GOP, used to hierarchies and astroturf, does not know how to silence the 99%.

They want a fairer world and it is up to the politicians to say where and on what issue they will stand or fall.
