The sputtering failure of #FreedomConvoy2024 should give confidence that they’re small, loud and fringe.

We can’t take our eye off the ball, of course.

Every vote matters.

But don’t let covering your ears from the noise stop you from using those hands to vote.

Think about it.

This is a rally that didn’t pay for an audience, like Trump.
That can’t curate its image like some massive groundswell protest.
When they post to social media, you see Ted Nugent performing to a sweaty tumbleweed.
It’ 1/100th of a Million Meathead March.

We have issues that divide us but for the most part, we know what’s at stake here.
We are nine months away from saving this democracy.
From Trump, Putin, Musk, Fox News, Bannon, Flynn and more.
And the mainstream media.
Side-eye to you, MSNBC.

They have gerrymandering, vote suppression, a right-wing media arm where they can either spread their lies.
Including this place, where the pale emperor spews is lies as fact, while “community notes” allows it to spread.
And they have been known to resort to violence.

But while their lies have amplification, we have facts, kindness and the majority on our side.

You wouldn’t know it unless you were looking for that.

It’s on the page of The NY Times, buried under asking a bigot in a rural diner wearing his Trump hat if Biden lost his vote.

So I am nervously optimistic.
Nervous because we all know what will happen if Trump is allowed back into power.

America got diagnosed with a cancer called MAGA, and our minds go to the worst case scenario.
But it’s treatable and defeatable.

So…
Eat healthy (information).
Boost your immunity system (mobilize)
Take your medicine (ballot).
Finish chemo (vote)
And lets walk out this healthy. (Trump, gone.)
