I haven’t been this focused since Napster. Every morning I turn on my phone and am…

Stunned, horrified.

Not that everybody agrees with me. Kind of like those days back in the beginning of 2000. The label execs told us they had it under control. After all, the law was on their side. You had acts and the industry telling its fans/customers to stop…and nothing did. We never did return to normal. And an outsider saved the recording industry. Yes, that’s what Daniel Ek did, and the labels know this, but acts consider him a pariah because in the process he got rich and they did not.

Trump is the antidote to not only Biden, but the entire Democratic party. You probably saw the Jon Stewart clip wherein he talks about Schumer waiting for Trump’s approval rating to go down to forty and then counters with the fact that the Democrats’ is TWENTY SEVEN!

Then again, I don’t think elected officials saw this. They’re not on TikTok, where this clip exploded. That’s the goal of late night TV, not to get you to tune in, but to create viral content that explodes online.

So…

Trump has stopped border crossings, they’re down to a trickle. The Democrats could have done this, but somehow this was anti…exactly what? This reminds me of trans women in sports and pronouns… The Democrats lost touch with the will of the people and catered to a cabal that was often vicious. At the end of his term, Biden looked nothing so much as afraid. Never mind the entire fiasco of Joe running again.

Joe’s home in the dementia ward. Kamala seems to realize no one likes her and has been licking her wounds off the radar screen. And who is leading the Democrats?

Maybe late night hosts and comedians. And there’s Gavin Newsom with his excoriated podcast…doesn’t he realize these people are the ENEMY!

And then there’s Bernie and AOC…

But nobody in D.C. takes them seriously. They’re cranks with little power. No, they’re in touch with the heartbeat of the country! Dissatisfaction with not only the government, but life in these United States!

I loved that TikTok video I saw yesterday with the young female tax attorney who explained how the rich pay no taxes. They borrow against their assets. YOU HAVE NO ASSETS! Or if you do, you’re probably one of those Democrats who keep telling the electorate how dumb it is. How did that work out? Not well.

So there’s this level of agitation and discontent and other than Bernie and AOC, the Democrats are not tapping into it. All they’re saying is their hands are tied. These doofuses have been in D.C. so long that they’ve lost touch with their jobs. They’re elected by US! They work for US! How about coming down from their thrones and interacting with US!

I’m not talking about listening tours. F*ck that. No, I’m talking about stirring up the populace, eradicating our depression. Sure, the right may not have liked Black Lives Matter demonstrations after George Floyd, but boy did those gain the attention of the people and the press. At least some progress was made, before Trump came along and undercut it.

The Democrats should leave D.C., where they keep telling us they have no power, and return to their burgs and stir up the public. Have rallies. Otherwise, everybody’s going to just go on with their own life until we’re living in Hungary.

This is what I don’t understand. How countries shifted into authoritarianism and life went on, the people accepted this. This couldn’t happen in the United States, BUT NOW IT IS!

Tap into our anger. Show Elon and Trump that we’re all not in agreement. Force the issue, either they have to stop the train or own the consequences of their actions. And right now they’re doing neither.

Keep the fever up. Make us believers in change. If you think the only way to make change is at the ballot box, you’ve been in Washington too long.

This is the lesson of Napster. Outside forces can change the world. At first most people had no idea what Napster was. Then they were aware and didn’t care. And then they got high speed connections and used the service and were convinced, smiling!

Who is going to lead the populace out of the wilderness? Who is going to disrupt the tsunami of destruction Elon and Trump have executed?

WE ARE!

That’s right, you and me. We’re the nation’s only hope. I want to know who is on my side, who is not afraid, who is willing to stand up for this country as opposed to focusing on lifestyle.

This is the most important issue of YOUR LIFE!

This is the turning point.

Are you going to be somnambulant?

All we need is leaders. This is the opportunity for the Democrats. Don’t forget, Trump stirred up his fans, gained constituents before he even ran for office! Trump spoke plain English. You learn the lessons of the enemy, you don’t just throw them all away.

The press isn’t going to save us.

As for the courts… They ruled against Napster and then we got KaZaA and then lockers. The will of the people could not be tamped down.

So far the courts haven’t stopped Trump.

The only thing that can stop him are you and me.

This is like Vietnam, but with much greater consequences. As for all those Trumpers… They were for Vietnam until they too realized the war was fruitless.

Because you can’t fight hearts and minds. Hearts and minds always win.

Dissatisfaction is rampant. Back in ’68 it was Eugene McCarthy who tapped into this. Ultimately Hubert Humphrey, the Chuck Schumer of the era, was nominated AND HE LOST! Because he didn’t have the fervor of the populace behind him.

Your entire way of life is being changed and you’re forced to shrug your shoulders because your leaders have let you down.

Something is happening here, and it sure ain’t exactly clear.

Either it will happen spontaneously or it will be led by the Democrats or…

It won’t happen at all. That’s what I’m most worried about. We don’t know who each other is. We don’t think we have enough people. We don’t think we have enough power.

BUT WE DO!

For what it’s worth.
