I don't know, Steve, I used to have great respect for you, but you've become indistinguishable from standard-issue BlueMAGA cult libs. All you're doing is parroting the new liberal line about "learn civics" as a way to relieve Democrats from actually having to deliver anything. There was a time when liberals celebrated what leaders like FDR and LBJ did for the people, but now it's just "The president can't do anything for you. Grow up and learn civics." Lame. Sad and lame.
Also, voting doesn't make a difference, at least not a positive one. We've gone from liberals protesting the abuses of the Bush administration to welcoming the Bush administration into the Democratic party. No thank you.
Oh, and mainstream media? You mean the people who lied us into war in Iraq and who are to this day lying us into war against Russia, China, Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and on and on and on. Apparently you've decided you like war. Not me - my values are still the same, Orange Man or no.
But, I'm sure you're like Diane Ravitch, whom I also used to respect. You're in the cult now, so it's clear that it's not worth arguing with you. Thank you for years of thoughtful posts about progressive education, but I'm unsubscribing now. Have fun living in fear of the Orange Man.
No! Don't leave me! I appreciate your thoughtful rejoinders.
I don't believe presidents can't do anything. They need immense powers of persuasion and uncommon conviction - like FDR and LBJ.
And you know I abhor the insatiable war machine. There isn't a tissue paper gap between our views. I'd prefer not to vote for anyone and my values have not changed. I just feel somewhat helpless. I don't want to relieve Democrats from doing anything for goodness sake. I only respect a handful of them.
And my assertion that our fellow citizens are ignorant doesn't mean I've joined a cult!
Stick around and check me now and then if you think I need it. Or not.
