(81,098 posts)Sounds like exactly what the opposition hopes our attitude will be. Scoffing at it and calling it silly. One is more likely not to take things seriously, with a mindset like that, and sit back and just assume "everything's gonna be fine."
The only problem with that is - everything is certainly NOT fine at the moment, and it's steadily sliding in the "getting worse" direction.
We can't afford to assume everything will be fine. Unless WE take the bull by the horns and work for a better November - as though our lives depended on it. Because they very well may. After all, Bill Barr spoke at the Federalist Society last year and singled out "the Resistance" as a negative element in the American political landscape. That can only mean trouble ahead, especially if trump cheats himself into a second term.
"If we don't stand up for truth, now, it will be too late." NY Times' Mara Gay said that on MSNBC tonight. We ignore that warning at our peril, and all America's peril.
