​Stop Being Afraid, Stand Up and Fight!

Barrie Friedland

 


To be clear, Trump's concern about the elderly woman only buying 2 not 3 apples is gone if it ever existed. Watch grocery prices skyrocket if tariffs are enacted and/or a group of people essential to all aspects of food consumption are deported. Yes, Trump will let these folks around him attack government with hacksaws and an astonishing lack of humanity.  He will be playing golf or on social media. 


Trump won with less than a majority and millions of people are uniting in their fear and loathing of him. Those who understand government will know the calamities ahead.  Others will just feel it in their daily lives.  A lot.


Trump is a bully and like all bullies, a coward.  By capitulating ahead of time we win half his battles for him. So do something!


Too many so-called progressives have gone running to Florida to kneel before a man who only wants more money and more food. Biden had several months to take the Supreme Court at its word and of course not commit crimes, but be bold.  Deport Elon Musk who was originally here illegally.  At the very least, take away the billions we give him via our tax dollars.  


Christopher Wray- you should not have resigned. There were three more years on your term. And Jack Smith, since when did Trump care about the law.  Let your cases go forward until his department shuts them down. Let them do it.


Millionaire Joe Manchin, a Democrat by delusion only, refused to allow the Child Tax Credit be extended under President Biden.  And Manchin prevented a robust Build Back Better Bill to be enacted for this administration.  The anemic version of this legislation was so popular that Gop-ers who voted against it, lied and bragged to their constituents about the effects for them. Oh The Horror of good jobs and rebuilding infrastructure.


There is a zeitgeist happening.  People are fed up.  Look at the reaction when the CEO of the worst of the worst healthcare companies was killed. Yes, murder is wrong.  But UHC and all the other ghouls who are standing between us and the medical care we need, have to be eliminated.  Not mafia style but via Medicare for All.  Take that Sweden and every other industrialized nation.  We might be late but this country can come around eventually.  With real change and not just a beginning concept of a plan.


Democrats- stop rolling over and playing dead.  Or pivoting to the right.  It is impossible to be more grotesque on immigration than the GOP. So don't even try.  Cease and desist hanging out with people nobody likes.  It took a few decades for Republicans to reject the Cheneys so here is a matter of bipartisan agreement.  Finally.


Don't be GOP lite:  Like 3 strikes and you're in prison for the rest of your life.  Or "welfare reform".  Or eliminating Glass-Steagall. And so much more.   


Democrats stop promising and not delivering.  Yes, the GOP took away abortion, but you failed to protect this right. And thus women.  DeJoy should never have been appointed to be in charge of the post office.  And yet, he is still there. There was a nationwide conversation about M4A and the democrats shut that down. In 2016 and 2020. What did NAFTA and PPT do to our workers?  


Democrats, remember your voter base.  It is not Bruce and Beyonce et. al.  But unions/minorities/well-educated and involved citizens. Don't betray them.  Scream your support of LGBTQ and books and science and medicine. Horror has no gauge.  If Trump will be worse inre Gaza, that doesn't matter to those affected and enraged by what the Biden administration abetted. The morass of death has very little finesse.  


For the rest of us- we must demand better.  This is the time to make a difference.  Find groups you can support.  Align with your neighbors. Fight for your local schools, libraries and government workers.  Don't compromise when a policy or legislation or candidate is morally wrong. Be loud and proud.  Or quietly... join a rapidly growing united economic protest movement. Demonstrate our collective power and economic heft.


Don't shop on Tuesday.


 


p.s. If it will be illegal to say shop locally 6 days a week, and then #DSOT-  Kash Patel, email me.  I will give you my address.
