Translating Public Outrage To Voter Turnout

With continued declining polling numbers it's abundantly clear that the Nazi Republicans are now just trying to mitigate a poor election outcome into becoming a massive tsunami disaster.

In every category which ever way one looks at it, giving $$ to the wealthy and increasing the wealth gap in this country meanwhile taking a sledgehammer to the social safety net, is not going to be a winning proposition for the Nazis.

WE the People are angry that policies not making average working American's lives better(BTW that's what the federal government is supposed to do) and being lied to by Der Fuhrer so he can destroy our government and stay out of jail, needs to have a electoral reckoning.

But WE need to mobilize and decimate this fascist movement. WE need to talk to our friends, neighbors, family, and to anyone who will listen to US that WE can begin to collectively take our country back in the upcoming midterms in November. If one wants to join like minded souls, join a local Indivisible group to lend more power to your voice. This is an all hands on deck moment.

Regarding your comments on propaganda from the media...In 1949, Rodgers and Hammerstein addressed this in South Pacific. Here are the lyrics from the song, "You've Got to be Carefully Taught."

You've got to be taught to hate and fear

You've got to be taught from year to year

It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear

You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught to be afraid

Of people whose eyes are oddly made

And people whose skin is a different shade

You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught before it's too late

Before you are six or seven or eight

To hate all the people your relatives hate

You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be carefully taught

I have zero faith this country will ever do the right thing when it couldn't even be bothered to put the treasonous fucks known as the Confederacy to the sword. Every single thing being perpetrated by the scumbags in power today is a direct extension of that singular decision.

How about doing this same interview with Rebecca Nagle and Isabel Wilkerson.

When Richardson spent thirty minutes in a fawning interview with Joe Biden during his presidency, she lost all credibility in my view. And during the Biden admin, she criticized only the Republicans and loved Biden. Pathetic. Trump and his fellow fascists are of course a hige challenge. But so are the Democrats whose weak and ineffectual opposition was a key factor in Trump's success. This interview does not add much to moving things forward.

I've known about the Triangle Shirt Waist Fire for years. I wonder if the Epstein Files is our version of that horror. It seems that the immigrant horror isn't enough? Maybe what happened to white girls, and only white ones, is all that matters to so many?

Absolutely the wrong question. Of course it can! Will it? I think it will and I think, in the long run, Trump has exemplified all the threats the founders saw to the republic, and that we all swept under the rug since the Civil War. We owe him a debt. No one else could have made so clear the stakes when you allow "anyone" to be president with no restraints. Only a fool could fail to see what needs to be done. As HCR says, most colonists ddin't see themselves as Americans, as opposed to Englishmen. If we can make a revolution out of that, we can damn sure make one out of Trump.

Yes, but it will take decades.
