E Pluribus Unum

To those who wish to effectively counter the onslaught of right wing reactionaries trying to demolish government: remind people that our shared government is the only thing that can hold us all together as Americans.

The decision taken over two hundred years ago to unite as a single nation has enabled us to attain to the highest standard of living in the world. Much of this was due to a strong central government supporting portions of the nation that would have languished otherwise (rural electrification, land grant colleges, federal water projects).

The coming administration will try to pit us against one another, but our shared history must be recalled, and any  attempts to shatter our historic mutual bonds must be fought as fiercely as our forefathers fought for independence, or against the onslaught of Fascism.
