We Have To Save Ourselves

with mainstream corporate media. Folks, when was the last time that you remember being in the same news cycle for more more than a few hours? And I'll tell you the last time was the media's obsession with Hillary Clinton and her fucking emails. And where did that end us? Up? Right? It ended up with Donald Trump becoming President of the United States because thanks to Comy at the FBI, we're going to reopen the case into Hillary Clinton's emails in

order to oh, look, find nothing. We're going to cover the fact that Hillary Clinton has had the flu, and then we're going to run that story into the ground. Well, this is the same fucking thing that is happening right now with Joe Biden. They are looking for the chaos inside of the Democratic Party. They are like a bunch of circling fucking vultures right now, just looking for bites and bits and things like that in order to bring

this president down. And you have to ask yourself why, right, Like, what's the incentive here? And I have posted on social media so many goddamn times that all of these networks that you get your news from are run by Trump's supporters, they are run by Trump donors, They are in the bag for Donald Trump. There has never been the type of coordination that we have seen happen against Joe Biden

since Hillary Clinton. It was the same media bullshit. Instead of paying attention and elevating the existential crisis that is Donald Trump two Hour Democracy and Project twenty twenty five, they're going to talk about Biden's age and him not

taking meetings after six pm. Well, if I recall correctly, Donald Trump didn't actually start work until about eleven or twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and I'm pretty sure was often time to go watch primetime Fox News at five o'clock, So that motherfucker was putting in what five hours of workaday maybe so miss me with the bullshit about a schedule that an eighty one year old needs to take,

because guess what, he's eighty one fucking years old. The reality is is that Joe Biden has done more for this country and taken on more shit than any other president in history. Let's be honest. When Joe Biden entered into office, five hundred thousand Americans had been killed because of Donald Trump refusing to tell people in this country to wear a mask to protect themselves and their neighbors. Instead, he used a global health pandemic to further divide this

country for his authoritarian agenda. So that's number one. Within six months, Joe Biden was able to get shots in arms and stop the spread that was happening with COVID nineteen. That's number one. Number two, Donald Trum because of his fucking tax cuts to the rich, had spiraled our economy

into a damn near recession. We were losing jobs, and so Joe Biden comes in once again and gets the economy back up and moving, which is according to headlines which you wouldn't see these headlines in the United States, but you'll see them everywhere else. That America's post COVID economy is the envy of the world. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did that. Okay, then you want to talk

about the infrastructure bill bipartisan passed. We were waiting on an infrastructure bill for the entire four years of Donald Trump's presidency. But you have to understand that Republicans do not offer any policies that are about bettering America or helping Americans. Every policy that they put full is about

punishment and profit for the rich. That is it. So again, we're at a place right now where we have four months until this election, and what I'm seeing from the media, amped up by defectors from the Democratic Party, is a call for Joe Biden to step aside because he had a bad debate. And the thing is, people say, oh, it's not a bad debate, it's a medical crisis. I don't give a fuck what it is. I'm going to tell you that, like I've been saying, I don't care.

What I care about and what everyone else should care about is the existential threat that is Donald Trump and Project twenty twenty five. Is the fact that on July first, the Supreme Court gave the President of the United States

king like power. Donald Trump is a known serial criminal who has had multiple trials, who is a convicted felon and an alleged rapist, and he is still able to run for the presidency without there being a bunch of media outlets saying that this person should be ineligible to be president of the United States. Instead, when that happened, you have New York Times saying, oh, do felonies even matter?

Ask all of those tens of thousands of people with felonies, largely people of color, who had trumped up charges, pun and fuck intended that can't get jobs because of the check the box. Have you been convicted of a felony? Yes, guess what, your application goes in the fucking garbage. So you can't get a job at Walmart, but you can absolutely get a job as president of the United States. And now the Supreme Court says that you're above the law.

So remember when Donald Trump called for the execution of his vice president of the United States, Well, this time around, he could just shoot that motherfucker in the head and just keep it moving because you can do whatever you want. Understand that the position that this country is in, we are hanging on by a thread. And what I would call on all Democrats to do is to actually act like you give a fuck about power and you give a fuck about democracy. You want to talk about changing

horses halfway through a fucking race. And then on top of that, the misogyne war around going shopping for another fucking candidate when we have a very competent young Vice President of the United States and Kamala Harris, but we're gonna have an open convention? Are you stupid? It is just wild to me that Democrats will take a win and turn it into a loss, and take a loss and turn it into a devastation. That's what the fuck

they're good at. And honestly, it is things like this that have me question my party allegiance and not just saying, you know what, fuck it, I'm an independent because I can believe in democracy, but not in a lot of Democrats at this moment, because they are showing their entire ass at a time when we need to be ironclad in our support, ironclad in our conviction of who we want to represent us, and that we understand what is at stake. I will run through this again. Project twenty

twenty five is calling for a national abortion ban. You already have Republican senators that have introduced legislation that says life begins at conception, so that they can also go ahead and ban IVF and ban contraception. This is not a secret. They want to take what has been done in places like Texas and Florida and Mississippi and Alabama,

and they want to make it nation wise. Fuck states' rights because when it comes to states wanting to have rights, you can have the right to take away rights from other people, but the ability to be able to protect your constituents in that state, m no. All bets will be off because trust and believe in the way that Donald Trump weaponized the federal government against the states during COVID, just imagine what they will do this time around to

defund the state of California and New York. Nor do I believe that our current governor in New York is up to the task of going toe to toe with Donald Trump when I think that she's pretty much a Republican in sheep's clothing. So that's number one. The other things that they would like to do, get rid of the Department of Education so that they can privatize education.

And put our taxpayer dollars towards religious schools and then build up a bunch of charters that actually have no real curriculum so that they can actually create a permanent

underclass in this country by privatizing our education. And for those that get stuck going to a public school, I guess you will bow down to pictures of Donald Trump and the Ten Commandments in every classroom, but you won't have critical thought or be taught about slavery or any injustices, or black history or gender studies because all of those things they would like to ban as well, because DEI to them, diversity, equity and inclusion is a dirty word,

and they definitely don't want inclusion whatsoever. So those folks that are less fortunate that have to rely on a public education will be getting the fucking bare minimum in terms of an education. That's what they want. They will also get the e Noah. They will also take us out of NATO and other alliances that we have so that they can realign the United States with a new access of evil in Russia, in Saudi Arabia. So much is at stake, and for anybody to say that Joe

Biden isn't up to the job. That he's been doing very well, relieving student loan debt even though his administration was sued, and still continuing to find ways to relieve students of the burden of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt, right to lower prescription drug costs, and fighting back against big Pharma. These are things that this

administration has been doing. Putting up protections for trans students and LGBTQ students in schools, putting up federal guidance that once again they are being sued for because there are red state governors that want the ability to discriminate folks. I cannot express enough that four months is not a lot of time, and so we must maneuver ourselves out of the minutia, out of the bullshit, and rally the

people around us to what is at stake. We can no longer put that responsibility on the media because they have shown themselves to be inept. We can no longer put that responsibility just on candidates because they have shown themselves in many ways not to be loyal. We have to put the responsibility of saving our democracy at our own feet, so that looks like you making calls and connecting with voters that looks like you, if you have

the financial ability, donating up and down the ballot. It looks like having really hard conversations with family, friends, and colleagues about what is at stake and not to gamble with your vote. It looks like all of us activating because no one is coming to save us. Much like we did in twenty twenty, we are going to have to save our selves. Because Donald Trump and Republicans get the executive branch, all bets in this country are off.

It took mered days following the Trump administrations day one to institute the Muslim ban. It took them but a few weeks to set up the camps that they would have to hold undocumented migrants so that they can begin the process of taking children away from their families, children that, by the way, still have never been reunited with their families. So folks like the fact that people think that, oh, we survived Donald Trump the first time around, and so

we'll make it next time. You're not paying attention. Our institutions are on life support. It took one man and one party four years to begin the absolute unraveling of two hundred and forty eight years of democracy. And the thing is that people need to understand is that we defeat Donald Trump in twenty twenty four, we buy ourselves for years to get our acts together, to build the pipeline to reshore our institutions. That's why we need the House and the Senate and the White House to be

able to certify our democracy for generations to come. Because guess what, Project twenty twenty five will just turn into Project twenty twenty eight when the next election comes. Republicans have shown us who they are and they are not to be trusted ever again. So that means that every election is indeed a consequential election because they want the end of democracy. They want authoritarianism, and so does corporate media.

If we all know that there is co ordination and strategy that is at play to fundamentally change this country and take away our rights, and they are telling us. Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation that is behind Project twenty twenty five, said, we are in the midst of an American second American revolution and it will remain bloodless if the Left allows that to be, which means that so long as we become willing subjects of

the trunk regime, then we won't get hurt. But if we dare exercise our rights as citizens, they'll take us out and have no problem doing so. Folks, they are saying this everywhere. So as Maya Angelou said, when people show you who they are, believe them the first time. For ten years, nearly a decade, we have been front row seats to the rise of Maga republicanism, to the

rise of white nationalism. They're marching down city streets. They are in the courts, sitting on the Supreme Court, sitting in governor's mansions, chopping at the bit, ready to pull this country kicking and screaming back to the nineteenth century. The only thing that stands between them and our future

is us. So we can continue with the handwringing, We can continue with the bullshit misogynoir speculation around who the next person should be, or we rally behind the candidate that we have and you fucking play the cards that you were dealt, and you play them well. I also, by the way, have absolutely no faith in the polls.

But you all know that because because we don't know who's running those polls, we don't know the questions that have been asked, we don't know to whom they've been asked, So don't put a lot of faith in them either, put faith in yourself and your community, because this is when we need community organizing. This is when we need to be going door to door town by town, village

by village. As Steve Vannin said, that's what Democrats need to do is get out of our fucking screens, get off of the fucking Internet, and go meet our goddamn neighbors and get them on the same page. That's what needs to happen, because this narrative, this hit coordinated hit job, is not going to end. They are going to pull the same shit that they did in twenty sixteen, and we cannot allow the outcome to be the same. Four months. Folks, our democracy, our freedom, our way of life is on

the ballot. This is not about supporting Joe Biden. This is about supporting your future. So it's either going to be them or it's going to be us. They already have their plans in place to pull the same ballot measure bullshit that they did back in twenty twenty and go into the courts, and you know, deny the election results, and do all of these things. We're the ones that we are waiting for. Act accordingly. That is it for me today, Dear friends on wokf as always, power to

the people and to all the people. Power, get woke and stay woke as fuck.
