Courage

Let's talk about courage for a minute. I mean real courage in the real world of American politics that has been marked by frequent and often deadly violence for all of our 250 years.

Knowing what we know about the shit Donald Trump has already pulled - and what he promises to pull in the future - a pretty impressive level of physical courage is what it takes to stand up and call that prick a prick.

To call that bully a bully.

To call that criminal a criminal.

To call that narcissistic malignant wart a narcissistic malignant wart.

Now think about who's had the courage to face him, and stare him down.

Is it Lindsey Graham? Matt Gaetz? Nancy Grace?

The New York Fucking Times? (don't get me started)

What about the "normal" Republicans - the non-MAGA conservatives? The current office holders and former officials - the people with some level of power we either don't know at all, or never hear from anymore?
  • Ben Cline
  • Tom Kean Jr
  • Tony Gonzales
  • Condi Rice
  • GW Bush
  • the list goes on and on and on
It's true that some have come forward, and more are emerging, but the number of Republicans currently in office who have the balls to push back just a tiny bit is barely detectable.

Shifting the focus a little, now think about the probability today that Trump literally wants Kamala Harris dead after she kicked his ass last night on national TV.

Say anything you wanna say about any of the Dems, but they're putting it all on the line -  risking their lives in service to this experiment in democratic self-governance. They know what it could cost them if they lose, and still they're out there every day fighting the fight - doing the work.

They could use a little help.
