Or, we need to accept that is the price of doing what needs to be done. Because man oh man, my dukes are up and I’m ready to fight this thing. And when I say that, I mean beyond Trump and straight into DeSantis and the rest of this ugly crowd.
But, let me say that my instinct on this is that the MAGA crowd these days are a bunch of arm chair warriors. I think they reached their apex of power on Jan. 6, and yes, frightened us right out of our skins. That, on top of the way that many here have never gotten over that Trump won in 2016 to begin with, has imo, created some kind of FAKE mystical thing that SHOULD NOT BE regarding Trump and his followers. Because I don’t think they have that sense of power anymore. Not since so many of them post J6 have been dealt with by the law. Not since the J6 committee has made it their business to collect the voices willing to tell us what really went on that day.
I did, for a second, get all het up over Lindsey Graham’s invitation to Americans to make blood run in the streets if we dared hold Trump responsible for the most obvious of crimes. But now, after getting over that a sitting US senator would call for this, I’m all over it Mr. Graham! You pull your bigots and racists away from their computers, and I freaking promise you we will be there to meet them. That’s how I feel and I think I have plenty of company in this.
But yeah, no, I really don’t think they’re going to come out again like they did when they thought they were under the tutelage and the protection of the then president. And if I’m wrong, well then, we will have to fight this sooner or later and I say SOONER.
Oh Lord, I AM SO SICK of tuning in every day to hear how this minority is more deplorable by the day, while at the same time hearing otherwise sane people wonder what we should do about it.
There has been an earthquake happening with their fave guy lately, and still, they ARE NOT SHOWING UP IN THE STREETS, in any measurable way. Yet, to hear some of the MSM tell it/threaten it, we’re one inch from cataclysm if we, God forbid, shout down this deplorable minority and hold them responsible. I believe that yes, we absolutely CAN DO THAT.
I think that we who read here every day, and on other sites, saw the reality of the situation a long time before the MSM did. I mean, didn’t it seem to you that it kind of took forever for the MSM to get it after the overturn or Roe? And they STILL can’t help themselves. They’re all agog that HELLO, Americans are NOT on board with this, despite the fact that polls have told the MSM this has been true FOR YEARS. And republicans are engaging in utterly fantastical wishful thinking that Roe and Trump aren’t on people’s minds at all.
I am sick to shit of hearing bobble head pundits tell us that “Oh gee, it might not be worth holding Donald J Trump to the letter of the law.” Y’know, just in case his motley crew raises out of their recliners and does their zombie march. And yeah, that is possible, but AGAIN, there is no sign of their courage to do that now. Now that they can see the possible consequences via Jan.6.
We MUST STOP being cowed by the threats of the MAGAS, and their despicable leader and the lack of courage of the MSM to call it for what it is until the last possible moment, if even then.
WE MUST HOLD TRUMP AND THE GOP RESPONSIBLE. Or kick the can down the road and face this all over again. It’s that right or wrong to me. And so few things in my life are right or wrong but THIS IS.
I am so freaking tired of being held ransom to these people. I say, if you want to get out in the streets about it, then bring it on. Because I’ll be there fighting for what I believe in too. When push comes to shove right about now, we better believe in ourselves enough to freaking SHOVE.
Now is the time to do so.
