I was watching a basketball game yesterday, and the announcer said the game was being shown on the American Forces Network for military personnel in 170 countries.
You might think the American military being in 170 countries is disturbing, but we’re making progress. Nine years the American military was in 177 countries. Baby steps.
The title of this post is what you get when you watch American television news. Local news is mostly fluff. Network news is a combination of fluff and propaganda. Cable news adds partisan shills to the mix because they have more air time to fill.
When Trump became President, angry Democrats vowed to resist him and his policies. As part of this resistance, Meetup groups popped up with the name #Resist: and the name of a city. You can find one of these group near you by browsing the Movements section of Meetup. I’m going to go review what the largest group near me, #Resist: Cleveland did in 2017.
Let’s tally what the group did: two marches, a trip to the statehouse, wearing pink, and some letter writing campaigns. They did nothing the second half of the year. If this is resistance, the Trump Administration has nothing to fear.
