Ah yes that was the problem, Biden’s approach.
Addressing clear and present dangers to everyone’s lives is very divisive.
Biden needs zero Republicans to sign on to anything. Just kill the filibuster and pass everything with 50 votes and either bribe Joe Manchin or frighten him.
Put up big expansive flashy legislation that would immediately make everyone's lives better and dare conservative Democrats to vote against making their constituent's lives better.

There's nothing left to keep our powder dry for. Use it all up.

Conservatives mean two separate things whenever they talk about "cancel culture."

One is social consequence for an exposed pattern of empowered abuse. They hate it.

The other is strategic coordinated outrage abusing a target over an invented/minor infraction. They love it.
Conservatives love to blur the lines.

They pretend that the first one is the second one, when one of their own has been caught abusing their power for years.

Conservatives love to engage in the second one under the auspices of the first one, when they see the opportunity.
It's easy to blur the lines, because in both cases you have outraged people, and often a person losing their job.

The way you can tell: watch patterns of abuse.

Look who argues to protect abusers from the abused. Look who chooses to defend the powerful from the less powerful.

No infant has ever been coddled by a loving mother as thoroughly and lavishly as Trump and his followers were coddled by U.S. media.
No outrage was ever their fault. Every antisocial act excused by their pain. Every slur really just a joke. Every statement parsed for—and automatically receiving—the most charitable possible interpretation. Every momentary lapse to normalcy praised and taped to the refrigerator.
The US media has showed tomorrow’s monsters just how nightmarishly elastic they will be when faced with the challenge of normalizing the behaviors and beliefs of white racists and fascists. There was no limit.

Megyn Kelly, a racist, very much wants them to stay that way.

I would give thanks to The Lord for allowing me to observe a demonstration in self-sufficiency from two proud principled men who I know would rather die than take something they didn’t work for themselves.
I would simply have chosen to not fall to my death.
God put them on the cliff for a reason, just like He put me at the top of the cliff next to all these ropes and ladders for a reason. His ways are not for me to question, and His perfect plan is not for me to disrupt.

"This is our country. OURS."

The Republican Party has spent my entire lifetime and longer leading to this. They've nurtured and tended and encouraged the lie of white supremacy to harness it to their own ends.

They're a white supremacist party. Fascists always eat their own.
This is absolutely key.

Trump was not the cause of Republicanism. He was the result. Republicans created an equation that could only have ever produced something like him. They'll produce another, and worse, if they aren't politically destroyed.
It is.

Reality doesn't help fascism. The truth doesn't aid white supremacy. And so the Republican Party spent decades creating a malicious alternate reality for their followers to live in.

And now they all live there, with little hope of escape.

Ok so hear me out let’s keep the Senate but turn LA, Boston, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx into individual states.
I’ll allow it.

The Great American Forgetting Project starts today. They're going to simultaneously try to tell us the last four years were an aberration that is over, and that it never happened.

And it's natural to want to forget these awful years.

It's our moral duty not to. US President Donald Trump at the United Nations General Asse
Those who benefit from our country's malicious priorities will do everything they can now to get us to forget how incontrovertibly Trump exposed those priorities.

Many of us thought we were something better than we were, but now we know.

We've seen our nation's face. Enthusiastic supporters greet an openly authoritarian white
And many among us knew the truth all along. Many of us always saw our nation unmasked, because they were the ones who suffered it.

They told us all along, and the rest of us didn't listen.

Now that they've been proven correct, we're going to be asked to not listen again. STEVE SCHAPIRO/CORBIS VIA GETTY IMAGES The front line of deBlack Lives Matter demonstration.Library of Congress Image of civil rights marchers in Selma Militarized police violently riot against demonstrators prot
