Won’t last. Lies will not triumph. I know it’s no consolation to say “History will judge otherwise”, although I’m sure it will. I don’t think we’ll need to wait for History’s judgement. I certainly don’t want to wait until I’m in my grave, lol. God willing, I won’t have to. Let Trump or DeSantis run on reactionary, grievance saturated rage. Let them. It will likely be nerve wracking, depending on the Democratic candidate, but a reactionary government, with SC rulings legislating morality, and a war on modernity will fail. This is not the Silent Majority. It’s the Noisy Minority, led by lunatics in some cases. Won’t win. Won’t revise History. Their revisionist histories will be laughing stock in nature. They’re trying, but they are going to experience a rude awakening, and people like MTG are going to learn how badly they gambled in trying to advance their political careers. Sorry, Marge, you are destined to be one of American history’s laughing stocks.
I’m putting this Washington Post opinion piece on the DeSantis book policy in Florida here as a no paywall, free read. I hope folks here check this out to see how absolutely insane, and really, doomed to implode, this school book policy really is. Any person in Florida, including a high school dropout, can finger a book as sexually offensive, and, it then must be pulled immediately, and an undermined length of time allowed to determine the merit of the claim against the book.
We are not going to allow anti-modernity, reactionary radicals to simply take over our country. This is the Noisy Minority, destined for the dustbin of History….
