Maybe I was the only one absorbed in my new book from Timothy Snyder, creating my own political questions on our current status quo. Maybe not. But I chewed through most of this awesome read "On Tyranny". It allows for so much reflection on histories of how things went south in countries with lying, deceitful overlords.
But Mr. Snyder also speaks to the importance of face to face contact with others, new and old folks of acquaintance, family and anyone that may want to discuss politics in a calm, genuine way. I can do genuine. Not always calm.
Reading about how states and countries successfully overcame potential tyranny, it was done by grass roots efforts. It works, y'all. Reach out like this, in a blog, and search for interested readers. I really hope that Republicans or Conservatives and like minded Blue Wavers are seeking truths opposed to gilded demons. You know, a president can and has been the deliverer of lies for self...
Good people are in our parks. Sure, there are the rare horrors that have happened in our parks, but certainly rare. The families, kids, babies, fireside laughter, music, smells and sounds of nature. Man. What would it be like to lose our abilities, our freedoms to cross state lines unimpeded?
I don't know. What would it be like to see books banned, limited healthcare for our women, voting rights compromised? Or humans being denied asylum? Or have our kids and elders killed or imprisoned, only to be killed? Because this is how tyranny begins. Not trying to be an earth quaking alarmist, just want all to dig deeper than too many have not. There is a trend to demonic leaders. That trend to follow other tyrannical leaders that came before them.
Vote Blue en mass. It's the best shot we have at derailing these asshole politicians. If I don't see success in my lifetime, please let our kids see it. Please.
Thank you for stopping in.
