Watching fanged zealots yell at school boards (and clap gleefully for their fellow yellers) I keep returning to something REV said in a podcast. I’m going to make a hash of it but it was something like – Getting protest energy and capitalizing on it by organizing and recruiting candidates and keeping everyone together to vote is the program.
I think of that political activism flywheel when I see those Karens lacerating their school boards because that program seems to be baked into the GOP DNA right now. Meanwhile party Democrats always seem to be wary of gathering any political energy.
