…share this with someone between the ages of 18 and 25. It is so existentially important that we infringe on their TikTok dalliances and meme-sharing to rally their natural influencing tendencies. Their numbers are the key to the future and the future has arrived. Abstaining is not an option. There are two very clear choices, both metaphorically and factually: giving in to the totalitarian, Handmaid’s Tale horror agenda of the batshit crazy right; or demanding the civilized hopefulness that only comes with democratic governance.
In choice 1, you fall in line with the lying, cheating, philandering, xenophobic, Putin-loving, traitorous, classified document-stealing, never-read-a-book, fake-tanned fat boy to be rewarded by nihilistic chaos on a fossil fuel-burning disaster planet with no food or water, (except for fat boy), but lots and lots of guns.
Choice 2 offers millennials the opportunity to use their big brains to set us back on the track that has been the aspiration of our species since the beginning of time, the quest for peace, love and prosperity…for all.
How is that even a choice?
