We cannot look away and hope it will all work out.
We must take steps.
Ann: John?
John McCain: Yes. Thanks Annie, I know this work isn’t all lightness and joy, particularly when your body wants a break, but as you know, this time is crucial. Never again will we be given an opportunity to stop tyranny in its tracks, and all hands must come on deck.
No amount of sublimation will allay the anxiety about world domination by authoritarian regimes. We cannot look away and hope it will all work out. We must take steps.
Ask yourself what you can do, how you can contribute, what is the work that will put your stamp on the push toward government for the people and by the people. If each and every one of us step up, we cannot fail.
Oh, it will not be a miracle cure, but Kamala Harris can shore up the wall enough to allow the rest of the country to catch up, to see what is painfully clear to most of us which is that the forces claiming to be for the people have betrayal and domination on their minds. It will take time for the truth of this deception to sink in, maybe a lot of time, but playing for time now is the name of the game.
Most of my old buddies are dead or retired, and from those vantage points it is easier to oppose the juggernaut forces of the MAGA machine. When your livelihood, your life, and your family are at risk, it is harder to hold firm, especially when you convince yourself that the old ways are better, that the great unwashed should not be given power, that democracy is only for well-fed, white guys.
And that is the tunnel vision thinking that wants to throw our Constitution and the freedoms it protects in the toilet - all for the sake of personal wealth and power. We have to stand up and scream, sit down and whisper, and run down every iteration of this abomination of lies. It is only the truth that has kept us free this long, and only the truth can protect us now.
If we all do our best, if we all move our country forward in this age of peril, the government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth.
So wherever you are, speak your truth, fight the lies and the deceivers, and never give in. (Smiling) Because, When we fight, we win!
