Heroes Resist

On November 9th 2016, the nation woke up to a catastrophe. Not everyone agreed on this. Some people were actually overjoyed. But the majority realized that the results of a contested election brought to light a heap of fear and resentment. Fears and resentments that existed on both sides of the aisle. Even if those two weren't the same for all, we saw glimmers of what divided us. But the light wasn't a soft beam meant to explore. It was a harsh glaring spotlight and it wasn't going to turn itself off. No one was turning it off.

The fear and resentment on one side of the aisle fell on the likely derailment of our trajectory to being the greatest republic for the better part of the last century and likely the next one. Overnight we saw threats to our democracy, our antiquated election system, our futures. A man with no experience in governing, with decidedly malicious intent, an orchestra of self-entitled sycophants behind him, an army of culturally sequestered and often xenophobic Luddites, was now in office.

For a few days, there was moral outrage and disbelief. Hope for recounts and for the electoral college to do the right and proper thing. That hope waned and was squashed again and again. There were flashbacks to a past Republican victory that led to a devastating time in our nation. Back then, the furor over the electoral college putting an unpopular president elect in office was limited to people not understanding the existence of the electoral college versus the popular vote. But that's a conversation for another day. In the end, the unpopular president elect was sworn in and then actually re-elected four years later. It was the memory of this and the ensuing cascading legislative changes that elicited a different response this go around. That and the prominence of social media, Twitter in particular. Whether it was the need to shout into the ether or maybe instructing others, people took to social media to voice their protest.

Shortly after the 2016 elections, there were a number of Twitter accounts that popped up that were curious at the least. Not too many noticed at first but soon there were more and more of these accounts. Fictional characters. Perhaps it wasn't so strange. After all people can be anyone they want on the 'net. But these accounts were different. At first, I thought they were a part of an rp or a cosplay. That is until I noticed their unifying message. Their message was RESIST. I started really paying attention then.

The characters came, at first, from all corners of the galaxy and different dimensions. There were space captains and their lieutenants; a princess, Jedis and the Rebel Alliance; space pirates and  crew; Time Lords; the Colonial Fleet; some superheroes; a slayer and her gang; some tributes from District 12; even a few video game characters. Also visible were historical figures providing wisdom. All in all, there was a loud voice forming.

It was a voice that echoed from coast to coast and generation to generation. Race played no part in limiting it. Neither did economics nor educational achievements. People spoke out about the quality of the incoming presidency and its vulnerabilities. People rallied around the infringement of our rights and liberties as the warnings were exceedingly evident. We were being moved out of complacency into all-out awareness.

All along there were other organized voices – Women's March was the first to march en masse but many followed. While the voice was cross-generational, a lot of the louder voices were people who had marched in previous decades for similar battles. They recognized the precipitous slope that current generations had not been sent down and were planting themselves deep to prevent the upcoming barrage of chaos meant to confuse and demoralize. What's more, they were planting themselves in and reaching out their hands to others. It's a human chain like no other before.  Personal stories and heroes were rising out of the characters, out of the personas.

What became clearer was that I wasn't alone.
