      I do not think it is saying we need to give up fighting.

      I think people like me need to hear these messages because we have conservative friends and family we haven’t given up because we think that once things get absurd enough, they will finally see the error of their ways.

      We still believe they are good people, but they are clearly not.

      There’s something really wrong with them, and it is not within our power to remedy.

      What we can do instead, is redirect our time and our energy towards others in our communities that are ready to flight.

      The message of the post itself is that we have power and we need to exercise our power, and we cannot wait for foolish people who believe in Mr. Orange.

      As for the comments, you conveniently did not say which comments you disapprove of. So it feels kind of hand wavy to try to respond to you. I see many comments written by people who are clearly not cowering down, so either those showed up after you got here, or your interpreting them very differently than I am.
