So well said and sadly should be shouted from the rooftops but won't be for well-known reasons. Too many people not on the fascist right and egged on by corporate media spend way too much time looking for that ray of hope or that Dem candidate that can "turn this thing around" or some obscene glaring event to be "be a wakeup call to voters on the right." Until we can convince a substantial portion of the electorate that we are actually in the dire situation we are in, we are heading toward disaster. All I get from people is calls to "stop being so negative", as if the power of positive thinking is going to save democracy from the forces of fascism. Or like Pelosi's well worn solution to right wing bullying , "I'll pray for you." I'm sure you hear the same thing. Anyway, great piece.
