Are they taking it down after this workshop production to do a rewrite of the exhibit that incorporates a new third act (still in development) in which an impeachment of Trump has a happy ending?

Bullshit! Democracies crumbles when billionaires & corporations can buy elections through super PACs, when money is treated as speech, & corporations are granted personhood. They dies when both parties are owned by donors & unelected judges rule for life. SHITLER is a symptom not the cause!

It’s pretty much close to dead in the US now, sadly. The Lunatic fascist fringe has taken over almost everything. Trump is an international embarrassment & THE most openly corrupt POTUS I’ve ever seen, & his Regime a bunch of unqualified, cosplaying hacks. It’ll take a long time to fix this shit. 🙁

Cassandra in the 305 @cassandrasaidso.bsky.social

I like this.👍🏼Seeing almost everyone just taking this lying down, saying things like "it's over" and "so over it." But we don't have to do that. Instead, we stand up and create our own exhibit of the Truth. Because really, how democracies die is when the People become cynical and quietly acquiesce.

Cassandra in the 305 @cassandrasaidso.bsky.social

Disturbing to me is the majority turn towards cynicism—fundamentally, cynicism is based in acceptance of the status quo and what I call "Why-botherism." Even the comment I saw earlier, "more people becoming cynical is good, this will lead to more critical thinking." This is a FALSE understanding.

Cassandra in the 305 @cassandrasaidso.bsky.social

The People have to KNOW deep in themselves as individuals that their own VOICE matters and CAN make a difference. Funny thing about people is we're human beings. And these odd and lovably unique creatures—humans—they need HOPE, and to believe in something.

And that this life is as beautiful as we allow it to be. Listening to our homegrown fascists talk might make one think everything is beyond redemption when there is actually beauty any place we look. They don’t want us to see the beauty, though. Gratitude and joy might be their kryptonite.
