We once proclaimed that All Men Are Created Equal, which we today can see was a lie at the time, but useful for the Revolution, and valuable as an aspiration. Nearly half of the population still wants to keep more than half of the population in “their place”. But they are a minority now, and we have started unwinding the hatred and systemic racism that have so plagued us all, black, white, green, or pink.
So now what? Well, we have to overcome enough of the filibuster to pass sane voting laws and the two big economic investment bills aka Infrastructure and Build Back better, and then whomp the Rs in the mid-terms. After that...No, wait. Let’s go back a step.
Yes, after that, when we pick the key log out of the logjam, the dam breaks, the next tipping point topples, and we get to do hundreds of wonderful things. But before we get to that key log, we need to deal with massive disinformation, notably including all of this pent-up fear and hatred among so many. We need to say No Room for Hate, and set about clearing the underbrush.
