While most of the mainstream media and fringe jobs kept a very close eye on the continuous dumpster fire that is the GOP and it’s servants in various branches of government something profound was building. There wasn’t a lot of hoopla, rahrah, or shrill cries for attention. There were no publicity stunts. Just organizing, communicating, planning, logistics, to gather to protest. All that quiet energy was rumbling through the bedrock of nation and in was being generated by the future of the nation. It’s youth.
The march for our lives, or as I say for our future, did not just happen in DC. IT was Everydamnedwhere an in places where it would not be welcomed and yet it was welcomed. Look at a map with those little red pins in it to denote an active group of people involved in this effort and it damned near blankets the map. I’ll be honest. I had no idea it was going to be like this.
Yeah we’ve been worked up before as a group but never like this at a national level. Focus clear, intentions and attention in line with each other, and highly motivated to be physically there present and accounted for. My life, my hopes, my dreams are very similar to almost everyone elses and none of us will get the chances to achieve them if we don’t start now on fixing what is wrong here. You can’t dream if you’re dead. And letting people, even sane responsible ones own assault weapons is stupid. Because there no real justifiable reason for anyone to own one.
In another “Hey didja see that?” Moment was the startling absence of red ballcapped MAGA marchers. they seem to be very thin on the ground of late. So maybe It’s like “Where’s Waldo” only you get to look for an evil Disney Dumbo. Only in a few spot were there any of these programmed trogs spouting the same tired irrelevant talking points. You can’t even ask them about Possible dark rubles being sent to GOP candidates. It’s like trumpies are becoming and endangered species.
Yesterday was about stating the primary mission. Now our kids are working out how to make that happen in the most effective way possible. Some how in the not to distant future I think a lot of these kids are wither going to be running the show or helping other people of quality into those spots. And right now while they are working for us we have to remind them that we will still be keeping an eye on the so that they don’t become what they despise.
Last thing then I’m done. I am Proud of all of you. You make the sacrifices worth it. Stay that way. This wasn’t a protest. It was a statement.
