Judging by your post history, it looks like I agree with you on nearly everything, except apparently when it comes to splitting hairs over how much faith we have in the average American to actually get up and get their hands dirty to take our country back.
...and honestly, I'm a little jealous of that optimism. The past decade has made me cynical as fuck. You're right to call me out for defeatism. This all seems so fucking hopeless to me, but I really ought to keep that shit to myself - not like I'd be doing anyone a favor by 'winning' them over.

We can't give up. We just can't. We don't have a choice. I'm doing my part here in Canada. I hope you guys do yours. Because there's so much at stake.
