If it wasn’t for the bumbling stupidity of the Republican mysogyny, a lot of the of the gains of the 2018 midterms would not have occured. Facts remain the same- money will dictate how most will vote. In my opinion, this is a sad indictment of the status quo.
Not only have we failed to squelch racism– it still rules many parts of the country — it is in the form of gerrymandering and voter suppression.
What we have learned is that more needs to be done-
Money from the far Right must be countered with a mainstream attempt from the Left to tell it like it is. Not back down — I, for one, plan to be more socially active in the coming year especially when it comes to calling a spade a spade. No more backing away — from political activism and countering falsehoods with the truth.
I will be posting my attempts on this blog to counter what I believe to be falsehood straight-on.
Cheers,
John
