Those are not the friends you need. You don't need friends giving you pie in the sky bullshit. Those are the same friends that tell junkie drug addicts "everything is fine, its okay to be like this!"
You need friends looking you in the face, telling you to man the fuck up and accept the reality of this situation, and to start doing something locally. Start organizing, start finding like-minded people to have weekly gatherings and discuss how to reverse this insane shit.
People should organize if they can. They should also remain hopeful, especially when they're not certain about what's going on. It's hopelessness, not optimism, that lulls people into complacency.

Be hopeful for the future that you can change.
Don't waste hope on the past that is already written.
Agreed. I would add, stay hopeful even when things are out of your control.
I don't think anyone's doing that.
Be aware the left is doing everything possible to keep us from organizing.
No doubt. They know we're the majority and they're afraid of us.
Hope and lack of despair come before action.
Half this board writes as if they want to give up, and that is exactly what the enemy wants.
The enemy knows as long as we never surrender, they never win the war
Yes, exactly what you said. Apply to family members as well.
What's that saying? Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
I'm not sure anyone will do anything about the worst at this point, but clinging on to hope isn't bad, getting complacent and rolling over is.
Wholehearted agree on the organizing.
