(14,546 posts)Not that I'm into the Sarandon theory of revolution, but dammit, close your eyes, just imagine, for one second, we were living in the first months of a second Trump term. Vaccines would be stalled. Still would be no plan. And even more draconian laws would be enacted to curtail civil rights.
We have to retain our spirit of RESIST. Because its all still there. Some have gone dormant. But they are all there under the surface. With assholes like Carlson keeping the fires stoked.
Imagine the anger by Democrats facing an even more arrogant defiant Senate and Whitehouse who complete their takeover of institutions, especially the oversight ones. Dems have to still be that angry about the insurrection. Don't allow the Republicans to define the narrative.
I imagine some good documentaries will come out about the insurrection. I also predict that if its a truthful, harrowing account, it will be dismissed as 'fake news' by Fox n friends in the media. They want to normalize the notion that its a he said....she said definition. And that its perfectly legitimate having the opinion that it was simply a protest by patriots gone wrong exaggerated by the fake news, or sparked by Antifa provocateurs, and that Trump had no responsibility for it, etc etc..
We can't let that happen
