It's so interesting. I guess the GOP makes it about the 2nd amendment for some folks, about abortion for others, about race for others, all the while what it's really about is keeping people down and maintaining power and wealth. Quite the con job.

I've decided that the Texas GOP whining about wearing masks and their egocentric freedoms while telling women the have to carry a fetus to term with no exceptions and critical race theory worried about hurting the feelings of the little white boys makes the white male the weaker gender.

But no one in the either party never mentions that do they? I dont expect it of the Repubs, but its one more "message" not given by the Dems or perhaps by an enterprising journalist with the ability to print it!

Maybe we can petition John Oliver to do a segment on socialism, pointing out the many entitlements corporations and the wealthy enjoy. The great thing about John is he will run ads on Fox and publicize the information where it will have an impact.

But the message has to get to the people who donтАЩt watch Oliver or read the NY Times, or the other avenues for learning whatтАЩs so that others of us do absorb. I like the commonality of an approach like this one above, suggested by Annette D.:

тАЬ HereтАЩs where we need to start our messaging. The fact that there are now sports events, including the New York marathon today, Broadway shows back, movies back in theatres, etc. is a big тАЬthank youтАЭ to Joe Biden and his vaccination efforts. There should be great bigs signs saying so at each of these places.тАЭ

I get that the people who need the education as to where the actual "truth, justice & the American Way" are today are largely watching Faux, OAN & Newsmax and listening to DJT's bunch - of course, they have another answer for anything good that comes down the pike! Hard to tell if there is any way to get thru to them.

Yes!! And promote all accomplishments every way possible. Get the positive to overwhelm Republican negativity.

Yeah, John Oliver, and Jon Stewart who now has a very good new show - in fact, I would expect both of them to do something on this.

Your statement is exactly what needs to be promoted!
