Thank you Roxanne Gay. We shall not accept, shall not surrender. And I sincerely hope we will continue to call out the lies, and ridicule the ridiculous policies. “Time and again, we hear the wild lies these voters believe and we act as if they are sharing the same reality as ours, as if they are making informed decisions about legitimate issues. We act as if they get to dictate the term… All of us should refuse to pretend that any of this is normal and that these voters are just woefully misunderstood and that if only the Democrats addressed their economic anxiety, they might vote differently. While they are numerous, that does not make them right.”

“The biggest challenge of our lifetime will be figuring out how to combat the American willingness to embrace flagrant misinformation and bigotry,” Gay wrote. But she made clear that giving up is not an option, that we all have no choice but to confront this challenge head-on.

They're never going to be happy with us. If we compromise our values, we'll never be happy with us either.
