Bay Area Houston

One thing seems to be pretty sure based upon what I have heard at TribFest these past few days. We are about as close to losing our democracy as we have ever been since the civil war.

I just listened to former Congressman Adam Kinzinger raising the alarm (again) about what is happening to our country, the possibility of becoming a facist nation, Donald Trump winning again, the collapse of democracy, and possible violence in the upcoming elections. It was actually a really great hour of rehashing what we already know. We knew it last year. And possibly the year before. I haven’t heard too many suggestions on what to do besides “we have to get people to vote” as if that is a novel idea.

With a little help from a friend I began to wonder “Now what?”. OK. We are on the path of facism. Now what do we do? Kinzinger said, and I agree, that we need to have an uncomfortable coalition of the true conservative republicans (what’s left of them) and the left to work together to save our country. As he has said to real conservatives “We may not like all of Joe Biden’s policies, but we can live through them, but we (our country) will not live through another trump presidency.” He is right.

In 2024 we are going to need help from everyone in order to rid our country of this cancer called Trump. Everyone on the left and every remaining conservative on the right. We all need to quit with the bitching about [pick your particular issue] and realize we are on the brink of losing it all. If Trump is re-elected your particular issue will no longer be an issue.

FFS. Focus people.
