Seems to me that those that have the "stones" to stand up to bullies get to have a laugh when the bullies back down.
The current nonsense has gone on for far too long.

Socrates said, "To thine own self be true."

So, when you know you are on firm ground, just follow your convictions.
Never display fear. That plays their "hand". There are others that believe as you do.
And, "the truth will make you free."

Seems to me that so many "Americans" have forgotten that they have the right to stand up and say they oppose what is wrong, whether it's being labeled as "unpatriotic" for opposing a fabricated war, or anti-Jew for opposing Israel's belligerant policies. If our ancestors had feared speaking out for what they believed was right, we'd still be paying taxes to Britain, people of African desent would still be enslaved, and we still would be bombing Hanoi.
Unfortunately, unless freedom is asserted, there are those that will assume it isn't of consequence....yours, mine, but definitely not theirs.

The truth will out!
