Yes. This. We need to elect to Congress people who are willing to do radical things, make BIG changes. Incrementalism will not suffice. We are in the business of saving our nation! The opposition is not at all trustworthy and cannot be expected to do the right thing. We can count on them to do the exact wrong thing. Therefore we must be strong, determined and go right up to the door sill of "too far." Do. Not. Go. Gentle!
Well done. As someone researching and writing about the role of American civil society right now, I would add more about what Marcos Perez Jimenez called "markets, associations and a sphere of public debate." The NAACP is part of that, but there is so much more not being documented. The big ten football schools, for example, have formed a strong network that helps protect them from the attacks being endured by single universities.
I agree 100%. This is no time for half measures. We must be bold in mending the cracks in our institutions. Actually mending may not be the answer in some cases. Start from scratch and build something just, fair, and indestructible. Consult the experts and do it thoughtfully and carefully not impulsively as a knee-jerk reaction to one of the scariest moments in our country that I have witnessed. But DO IT! Accountability must be included in all of this. Those that chose grift, weaponization, and profit over loyalty to our country and the oaths they took to the Constitution must suffer the consequences of their actions.
America was once the innovator; it's how we jumped ahead in the world. But the Party of No has invited similar retaliation and made us all but the Country of No. That has to stop, and the author shows us why. Simply ceasing to resist every bit of progress would allow creative thinking and problem solving to once again take hold in America.
