You use a cancer analogy. I use a literary analogy. I quote a novel character from the most banned book. The "wannabe dictator" in the White House is MAGA media's Boo Radley. So are rest of us 'woke' folk. In the end we're not just saving Atticus' innocent children from the fearful, violent hater of Black people away from the courts they answer to, we're enforcing rule of law. As the commander-in-chief says, we're in the battle for the soul of America.
Fiction is a lie that tells a truth. No one depends on fiction for agency except for MAGA and their bible. It's used
-- to justify Trump's military force on DC protestors,
-- by state and federal MAGA leaders and right wing oligarch funders to obliterate constitutional rights of more than 51% of the country.
-- to justify vigiante violence against LGBTQ, Jews, Muslims, and even the unregulated militias.
No matter how we put it, we agree that in the real world MAGA is a national threat, not just a cancer.
So far in the oldest, largest democracy, rule of law conviction rates for the attempted coup are 99.999% across 50 states.
Those hundreds upon hundreds of wins and the 2020 win are the way we fight.
The whole world is watching how we fight for justice and rule of law.
There is no settling democracy once and for all.
