Occupy...
When Bernie Sanders says “Enough is enough!” the deep response from so many people could be, in part, reflective of their experiences with other people for the past several years.
Take me, for instance, and my wife. We were inundated daily with very in-your-face right-wing political/ideological screeds from every acquaintance and family member, for years and years, and we tolerated it, the way civilized people do. We were tacitly insulted and belittled, even in our own home, by the rudest of ideologues, and we didn’t say anything in return. The right’s replacement of the word “civility” with the phrase “political correctness” is an effort to remove shaming as society’s means of controlling the belligerent rudeness of these ideologues.
Then came the announcement that Bernie Sanders is running for president, actually in the race, for real. This had the curious effect of snapping us out of our passive inertness. We started answering back. A few measured responses, polite but committed, and the strangest thing happened. People unfriended us, my brother actually took down his Facebook page, almost every initiating post was deleted so that our comments disappeared as well so that no one else could read them, Facebook pages were cleaned of every political post so there was nothing left that we could critique.
Wow! Did you realize how much power you and I have, to change the ideological landscape of America? Let’s OCCUPY FACEBOOK!
