The title is a quote from the prematurely-canceled TV series Firefly. I'll admit, I've never seen the series. It's not available with audio descriptions anywhere, so perhaps I never will. But the quote is a banger, and it is all too appropriate for our current sociopolitical situation. We, meaning lefty or anti-Trump types, need to adopt it as our slogan, our raison d'etre, our lifestyle. Aim to misbehave. Be un-fucking-governable.
Texas Democratic Representative Al Green showed us what to do last night, when he was booted from the chamber during Trump's speech. All of the remaining Democrats should have followed his example. Maybe give it a few minutes, and then let someone else raise enough ruckus to get booted. Keep on doing that, person by person. They could have dragged the address out interminably, making it effectively impossible for the autocratic scumbag to deliver his address.
But no. The Democrats are the party of spinelessness. This is not the time for politeness. This is not the time for holding signs or dressing in pink or whatever ludicrous weaksauce excuse for "protest" is proposed by the nutless mavens of decorum and submission.
I urge you to call your legislators. Ask them why they weren't making a ruckus like Al Green did. Ask them how much obeisance is too much for them. This will only work for Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans. Yes the latter do exist, and they need your support if you are living in their district or state. I'm going to be doing that this morning: calling my state rep and both senators, all Democrats.
