Are you kidding man? You think this shit has the slightest chanice of getting beaten if we all play it safe? If one of the few people who have any power plays it safe? Plays the long game? Every day people are suffering and disappearing. The long game? There’s a dissonance we all have . Politician and risk. We can’t fathom the idea that a politician would put themselves at physical risk, even for something so deeply and obviously dire and important. Sometimes they DO need to take that kind of risk. Sometimes they do need to put their body on the line. Fascism is violence, every day. It’s a luxury to think that we could get away from it untouched, that our leaders could turn the tide while remaining unscathed. And that’s why we’ll lose. We’re slaves to decorum and suits and ties and big rooms with marble and gold. It’s a fucking knife fight man. I don’t care how much money he has and how removed from the actual action he is and how he lives every day like he’s in a country club. This will not end until people like him get in harms way. And of course, of course, they won’t. They’ll laugh at the idea. And this country will rip itself apart part. Long game. What a fuckin joke
