In about two years, we'll most likely get a president who admires fascists.

Uh, I've got even worse news for you, my friend.

But I do understand. I do feel somewhat powerless. I alone can't sock Hitler on the jaw. I don't have an impassioned speech to give, but I do think we are in the same boat. We just need to do what we can and help the people around us.

This speech is from a usually humorous sci-fi webcomic, (Schlock Mercenary) but it's what has come to mind a lot recently. To roughly quote:

We're low on food, the air is getting stale and we don't have enough beds.
As of right now we are **all** refugees.
That word means **this** is our refuge.
Not just this **place**. Each other.
And that's what will save us.

I dunno. It depends ... how soon can you rescue the person next to you?
