Resistance Is Necessary

Saving What’s Important

OK, Republicans… You’re Up.

I hear you folks are anti-science now, and anti-education as well, but I have a question for you:

If a plane starts at 20,000 feet in the air and suddenly drops 5,000 then 5,000 more, but the pilot says “We’re gaining altitude!”, do you support the pilot? Do you tell the passengers to calm down ?

Or…

Do you think there’s something wrong with the pilot?

Do you worry the plane is going to crash?

Are you looking for the exits and the parachutes?

That plane is our economy. The passengers are America and the rest of the world. You do realize that you’re on that plane, right? If it crashes, you go with it.

Democrats and a whole lot of other people haven’t liked the plane ride since it started. We can see the ground getting closer. Today, there were millions of people who would like to take charge of the plane and save it all, including the economy.

Amazingly, none of us has the key to get into the cockpit. We’re stuck with you and everyone else, feeling the nausea in the pit of our stomach.

Surely you must see the situation. We may have hired the pilot, but you swore he knew how to fly. You’re the only ones he’ll listen to. With all of us, we can stop this chaos and destruction and right the plane.

Step up now. Get into the cockpit and talk him down or none of us is going to make. Surely you see that he causes you pain as well , and he doesn’t care. You can stop that for you, too.

Whatever else happens, you can’t give him the tools for your destruction. The courts are trying, but it’ll be a lot harder to get things back if you just give them to him. Forget the fact that our stuff is on the plane, but know that if we crash, so do you.

If we get out of this, we’ll come for you, because you deserve to remember what average citizens live like. But we won’t crush your soul. We won’t destroy everything holy to you. We’re Americans. We’re better than that. He’s not, and you know it.

Resisting with Peace,

John
