Pick Your Poison, Liberals

I doubt it’s a majority, but at least some of these protestors are willing to fight. Make fun of them all you want, but that’s actually the correct attitude. That I disagree with their politics is irrelevant. There’s simply no reconciling this country. At some point, we fight.

This fresh Democrat government represents all kinds of promise in patching up our problems but there’s a clear line of white supremacy that the country depends upon.

These protesters want the wrong side of that, but most liberal folks are stuck not wanting to rock the boat. And so, I’m convinced that a repeat of 2008 is inevitable. There will be calls for bipartisanship and appealing to moderates. When, really, this government should move immediately on all the progressive points like voting rights, universal health care, etc. What this new government should do is ignore the cries of fascism and push all the changes through.

Because here’s the thing – we overcame Trump. And we may even overcome the next swing back in his direction.

But we for sure won’t overcome the swing after that.

They’ll ignore the cries of fascism and push all the changes through. They flinched this time, thankfully, but have shown the desire and capability to do it. And they won’t flinch next time.

And, at that point, we won’t have any recourse at but to fight. And we won't be prepared.

Instead of crying, ”don’t sink to their level!’ and trying to play fair, we need to recognize the lack of conscience that’s led us here. And then drag them, kicking and screaming, forward. There’s no swaying them with reason, logic, or playing fair. None of that works.

So, sadly, the only path is getting as much done, closing as many of their loopholes, and removing of their lackeys as possible.

That, or we need to start getting ready to fight.

Or give up, like we always do.

Pick your poison. They already have.
