| Sting like a butterfly, indeed |
In light of Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow's fiery speech excoriating republicans for selling hate in lieu of having an agenda to actually help Americans, I came across this passage from Tom Sullivan of Digby's Hullabaloo:
Democrats think politics is about good policy and good governance. It is. But only if you win the power to make it happen. Elections are not about good policy. If Trumpism has not disabused Democrats of that fantasy, there’s no hope for them. Voters want leaders — even phony ones — willing to fight for them and to risk themselves in the effort. Wimps need not apply. Stern words do not count.
While promoting the good we've done in the past two years will help, it is crucial that we stand toe to toe with republicans on their culture war, reminding the sixty percent of Americans who aren't batshit crazy that republicans are coming for your birth control, are going to shove gay Americans back in the closet, are going to increase suicide among trans youths, that their grooming schtick is all bullshit to take away from the fact that republicans have done nothing ever to solve the problems of everyday Americans, and that fascism is their calling card.
Debating their talking points isn't enough--we need to take a baseball bat to their lies and their fealty to fascism. Our very existence depends upon it.
Republican = Traitor
Peace,
