A reminder– It certainly doesn’t feel like it right now but those of us who oppose what Donald Trump has espoused and represents are still the actual majority in this country. Yes, it may not be by as much as we thought but it is still the case.
When I lived in California I learned about wildfires and something called a controlled burn which was exactly what it sounds like– a fire started intentionally to either fight a larger fire or to prevent a more catastrophic fire from happening at all by burning an area in advance with fire crews present to make sure things don’t get out of control.
The Republicans have been doing controlled burns for generations now. Think Willie Horton. But what they never expected was that an arsonist like Donald Trump would come along and they’d have a conflagration that would threaten to burn down even their own homes.
Those of us who are watching this fire right now have to make sure it won’t spread any further. We need to work together to put it out.
There are certainly enough of us. We need to support the best of us who run for school boards and local office, state legislatures and Congress.
Most of all we need to speak up for what we believe in. No matter the legitimate grievances of those of us who elected Donald Trump there are more of us who are disgusted and outraged by his character and his beliefs.
And yes, there are still more of us than them.
