You're right, of course... But why should it be this way and is hiding your disagreement with these groupthink bullies going to lead to things getting better or worse?
And to make the situation even more discouraging.... Contemplating creating an organization antithetical to Mom's Demand Action (or whatever), the first thing that comes to mind are the early-adopter, in-your-face, counterproductive morons one would need to alienate in order to have a credible organization. Discouraging is an understatement.
