Democratic leadership announced their plans to play the 2013 Katy Perry song “Roar” very loud in response to the aggressive start of President Donald Trump’s second term.
As much as I agree with the sentiment, it’s not going to be elected Democrats putting their bodies and personal freedom on the line; what we need are more Anarchists, and support for Anarchists.
The closest thing I have to a point is that on a Federal level, the Democratic party is a corpse. At best I think it could be resurrected as the supporting “acceptable” political wing of a larger movement that also includes a direct action wing that actually sets the movement’s agenda. But I’m afraid that’s just as much of a fantasy as the idea of pampered technocrats standing up to get their heads bashed in by US Marshalls.
