Gotta Put Politics Back in Your Life
Something is frustrating about trying to find moments of joy and relief this summer like a normal person, while it seems like our country and the world around us are falling apart. I try not to dwell too much on whether WE are doing enough to push back against the quickly expanding imperial Trump regime. I know we are all attending rallies, protests, contacting members of Congress, and voting in local elections as ways to stand up against Trumpisim. At this time, the people and the courts seem to be the only institutions able to put checks on Donald Trump. We the people rally, organize, and make our collective voices heard about his decisions. We write and call members of Congress to urge them to do the job they have always had: put presidential power in check. Sometimes Trump’s team will do a complete one-eighty after realizing their decision isn’t as popular as they thought.
