Just passing this along should someone care to read it. I realize some people don't want to read anything "political" and we're all exhausted by the endless onslaught of the politically based "business" in the USA (because that's what it is, billions and billions of dollars in business for a multitude of companies, media, ad companies, web design, yard signs, lobbyists, t-shirts, the politicians themselves, etc.) but...at the end of all that are human beings being fucked over by the jackasses in the Republican Party.
Some of us do care about freedom, oppression, the nastiness of humanity, egalitarianism, autonomy, choice, altruism, benevolence, the stupidity of man fighting and killing over oil, land, power, greed, women as chattel, money, and so on, so for those that do, this lady advocating for what is right, against a whole town of brainwashed, ignorant, paranoid inbred stupid fucks...is heartwarming and motivating.
Future generations and historians will look back on the GOP/Trump era and just shake their heads, wondering what in the flying fuck was wrong with these people. Same as the KKK, Nazis, Mao, Stalin, any era or situation where people allowed themselves to be indoctrinated into a cult...and lost all sight of right or wrong, good or evil, stopped thinking for themselves and not only allowed evil to exist, but took part in it. It reminds me of:
The night is black without a moon
The air is thick and still
The vigilantes gather on
The lonely torch lit hill
Features distorted in the flickering light
Faces are twisted and grotesque
Silent and stern in the sweltering night
Mob moves like demons possessed
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right
Confident their ways are best
The righteous rise with burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat, and burn, and kill
They say there are strangers who threaten us
Our immigrants and infidels
They say there is strangeness too dangerous
In our theatres and bookstore shelves
Those who know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves
Quick to judge, quick to anger
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear, walk hand in hand
