"Is our press corps up for this moment?"

No. Absolutely not.

The plan seems to be to beat all of the sane voters into a stupor and submission. It’s relentless, numbing and disheartening. And that’s his plan.

So…persist. Shake it off and resist:

ā€œIf there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.ā€ - Frederick Douglass
