Or it could be more of a statement about the zeitgeist of Democratic Party politics.
I’d like to understand who these people are who are suddenly finding their voices. People don’t wake up and run for Congress.
Personally, I think this a sign that the professional political types are ducking for cover, and we may not be escaping from the GOP brand of fascism anytime soon.

Great!
The government only works well when people participate.
Something I fear is lost on tweet and like generation due to social media algorithms preying on them.

President Trump is such a motivator.
It means socialization in human civilization has weakened from the time up until the 1800s where women were only able to gain power through escaping their role as chattel via cloistering/religious mysticism (see "The Creation of Feminist Consciousness" by historian Gerda Lerner) to where the biological sex of a person does not so much preclude the very imagination of gaining positions of state power due to lifelong psychological terrorism (to use terms from Dworkin)
But that's not really even the tip of the iceberg, as Kane, Lerner, and of course Dworkin would agree...
