The Way Forward
Related: About this forumI have this idea.
Not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm going to throw it out there.
I want to gather up some like-minded friends, and I have quite a few. We'll go to a restaurant or a grocery store or park or a mall or a sporting event. We might bring signs, but mostly we'll bring our voices. We'll spread ourselves out, and start chanting. Chanting what? Here are a few ideas:
"No one elected Elon Musk"
"Trump is not a king"
"Hands off Medicaid"
"Stop firing people"
"Bring down prices"
"Be nice to Canada"
Anyway, we'll pick one, and start chanting. And we'll invite others there to chant with us. And we'll post video of it online.
Why? Because courage is contagious, and I need to DO something. (Oddly, yelling at my computer screen doesn't seem to be helping.)
I don't want to rely on Congress and the courts to fix this because the Dems don't have the power, and the Reps are either scared of their own shadows or actively approve. Also, many of the judges (ahem, SCOTUS) are corrupt as hell. Also also, it's just as much my job as it is theirs to make sure my country doesn't become the next Hungary.
We need to reach people who aren't paying attention. If we interrupt their dinner for sixty seconds, I'm okay with that.
I hope this doesn't sink like a stone, but if it does...hell, I'll probably just try it anyway.
