It is now after mid-night where I am writing from, so I don't know if it is just a bout of crazed thinking but currently, in my mind’s eye, I am seeing what the men, and they were all men, who went to land on the beaches of Normandy, especially those in the First Wave, and seeing what is happening in your country regarding the fight against fascism, especially in the form of Project 2025.
It seems to me that those mostly young men who were sent, in 1944, to the beaches of Normandy were fighting and dying to keep their world safe for their families, and their extended families.
The French, the English, the Australians, the New Zealanders, the Canadians, the Americans.
They died for the idea that one man cannot lead the world through force, but through a willingness to listen to the voices of the majority, and to act on the requests from those in the majority.
What is happening in your country is not akin to the fighting that took place in 1944. I want to be clear about that.
However...... the MAGA-tistas who want to have a form of gpvernance where their voices and their threats of violence will control the wishes of the majority, seem to this outside observer to be akin to what was happening in the days leading up to the 1933 takeover of Germany by the Nazis.
I know this is not a new thought on the pages / screens of Daily Kos, but I just want all the Kossacks to know that there are people outside of the US who can see what you are doing with all your GOTV efforts, and are hoping that all your efforts to keep those wannabe Black Shirts and Brown Shirts at bay for the next decade or two will be successful.
You will, by being successful your interlocutor hopes, give the world a chance to beat the Fermi Paradox, and get to a point where Global Climate Change is forced back.
That the capturing and use of the planetary energies, which come from the various motions of our little planet around our star, will dominate.
Where the idea that the Voice of the Minority will over-ride the Voice of the Majority cannot take place.
Where education, and learning, and going to public schools and public libraries is seen as something to be admired and looked upon with reverence.
Where ideas from a religious group cannot be the lingua franca that we all have to live by.
That those religionists cannot force their beliefs on those who look upon the wonders of this rock / world we inhabit, and see something other than "the hand of God" and allied "creation explanations" as the lens to understand why we are here.
For better or for worse, the US is the elephant of the world, and many good ideas come from your country.
Continue with this.
Keep Joe Biden in the Presidential Election for November, with Kamala Harris as the VP.
President Biden gives me hope that all will be OK.
The Congressional Black Caucus understands this, as does Stacy Abrams, and almost all of the women of colour.
What is it about George Clooney that makes it difficult for him to see this? I have no idea.
In closing, I have only one thing to say to all of you at Daily Kos: Knock Trump Out.
Push the Epstein emails, and the 2016 "Jane Doe" affidavits.
Save your liberal democracy, and save the world.
Keep the faith.
