A Rant, episode 1

So where do we go from here? What do we do? How do we handle the way forward?

Assuming we make it through the next 2-4 years as a country, I have a few suggestions.

1: Write down everything he does. Keep record.

2: Do more than yell he’s bad

3: Go cold turkey on CNN and MSNBC

4: Try not to be angry ALL the time.

Ok, so that first one. We have to keep a record of all the things that are about to happen. “But we always do!”

No, no, we don’t. We forget, way too easily. We need a list. Hire someone to be the recorder of days and keep it all on in one place. I don’t really care who it is. How about Ryan Seacrest? He could read out all the things that went awful just before the ball drops in Times Square. That way, next election time, we have receipts.

Second, we need to find a balance of calling out the awfulness, marching and/or organizing to stop the awfulness, and screaming about the awfulness. We can not just scream “we told you so” for four years. We can’t just say, “He’s so bad.” We have to do that, yes, but we also have to change the way we (and when I say we, I mean anyone wanting the democrat party to ever win an election again) discuss it with the world.

We have to come up with real solutions. Gasp!

“Hey, see how the price of things continue to rise? We’ll its because of this, this, this, and this. And how we can fight that is this, this, this, and this.”

We have to start talking to the people who actually can’t afford those increased prices. We can’t just say Biden made the stock market go up.

Who cares about the stock market when you can’t buy food for your kids??! Actually include the working class and lower class population into the conversation.

Thirdly….let’s just go cold turkey on CNN and MSNBC. How about that? I’m sorry, I understand Fox News is bad, but come on….CNN and MSNBC are a profit hungry company needing likes and follows, just like Elon does. They emboldened Trump. They clickbaited us for too long. Just turn them off. What’s the worst that can happen? They get held accountable themselves? You enjoy some free time from the drama? Win win!

And finally, we have to find some balance. Turn off the news from time to time. Play in the park for a few hours instead of organizing a march. Talk to an old friend. Play with your kids. Read a book. Let yourself breathe for a moment. At least every once in a while. This is not an ihop. Your rage should not be open 24 hours a day.

So that was easy, right?

Just do all of that. And it’ll all work out. I’m almost partially positive of it.
