(2,403 posts)The only thing I can say is that people want to hear how mad we are because people ARE mad. About lots of things. We can be pissed off and be truthful. The message of soft spoken hope wont work for a lot of people right now. People are pissed at a lot of things and with that they will take any reason to blame something. The republican party tells people to blame the other. We can and should be telling people to be pissed at those trying to divide us. Make references to all the references to unity in all of our national creeds like the pledge of allegiance and the nat anthem. The stuff that they eat up and plaster corporatized versions of it everywhere. If they love that stuff while the republicans use it to divide (kneeling, classrooms, etc) we should be using that to remind them of what that stuff really means and explain how it is keeping ALL Americans down. And then point out that it is the republicans that continually try to divide us yo benefit the wealthy. There is a message that it is patriotic to look out for all groups of Americans not just the red areas or the blue areas or the inner city communities or the rural communities. That the problems facing these communities ARE shared. And the root of those problems are the result of the people that benefit from those divisions.
