No amount of letter writing has persuaded my lawmakers, but one thing has slowed them down:

Showing up in numbers that can’t be hidden or explained away. Marching in the streets. Testifying by the hundreds. Letting lawmakers know we see them and we know.

Yep. I've been saying it time and time again:

WWI reparations brought the Germans to the point of desperation and anger that allowed someone like Hitler to take over.

Trump can't follow those steps if the economy is strong/fine/growing. (How Biden left it)

So he has to crash it first.

So so true - We see it happening already. So many Trump voters that are losing their jobs, businesses or farms just CAN NOT bring themselves to believe any of this is Trumps doing. They still think he will save them from all of this.

Here -- I made a MEME for it. Feel free to share.

So good - I think I'll post that right now! Thank you!

They need to be reminded (as I've been saying a lot lately):

Donald is a grifter. Full Stop. If you don't think or you're not worried that you're the mark -- that makes you the mark.

What an article. I have no doubt what she says is true. My favorite phrase and call to action is "throw sand in the gears." Let's hope all us on this side are up to the task. Thank you for posting this article.

I love that phrase! It reminds me of "Let's Make Good Trouble" from John Lewis. Maybe "throw sand in the gears" can be the rural version. 😆

blfreeman.bsky.social•105 days ago

Yes!

This is so so scary. Talk about a massive scam.

The view is much the same from where I am….governor just signed a school voucher bill 🤬😢

That's another issue that DEFINITELY needs more attention. Such a scam funded by a bunch Christian Nationalists! They are trying to indoctrinate children starting at the youngest age possible. I also thinks it's a way to re-introduce segregation in a less obvious way. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/texas-politicians-far-right-christian-megadonors-rcna55546

Excellent article. Thank you for posting.

It really is a great article. She's been screaming at the top of her lungs for so long to get people to realize what's going on in MO & rural America. It's a shame more people aren't listening. It's crazy Dem's always ignore rural voters when they're campaigning. But they're a huge voting block.
