You've been listening to the Shrub again, haven't you?*
The good news is, he's not always right.
Us "nobodies" really can make a difference - if we can overcome the existential-despair-induced apathy that is making life so much easier for facists like the unPresident.
(*me, I'd been recalling Emily Dickinson's poem I'm Nobody: "I'm Nobody! Who are you? / Are you—Nobody—Too? / Then there's a pair of us! / Don't tell! they'd banish us, you know. // How dreary—to be—Somebody! / How public—like a Frog— / To tell one's name—the livelong June— / To an admiring Bog!)
