So how can Democrats turn the narrative to convince Republicans, Trumpers, Conservatives that Government can and does solve problems, that Medicare for all or at least expanding Obamacare by adding a public option will help solve our healthcare embarrassment, that the Green New Deal will address 2 of the major issues facing this country addressing climate change and jobs. That education and science are to be valued not scorned. That a sensible immigration policy can help fill millions of jobs that companies are not able to fill today. I think we have all watched how Republicans think, how media personalities like Rush and the talking heads on Fox News spew hatred. We/you have to go positive like the President is attempting to do. To go big to address the health and economic issues brought on by the pandemic. The President and the country need some big wins and fast to avoid the loss of congress in the mid terms. How can you and your readers use their voices to help? As opposed to criticize. It's time to ignore Trump and hate spewers as well as the do nothing cowardly Republicans and push the new narrative.

And both Limbaugh and Trump mirror Roger Ailes.

My 98 - year-old godmother, born and raised in Park Slope, lives in a gated community in Austin. "I cannot believe I have to live this way at this point in my life", she said in today's phone call. She is a HUGE Republican and has always been puzzled at why I wasn't.

I wanted to remind her that those governing Austin are her party who just didn't pay into the right systems to protect people. But I couldn't do it. I am Democrat,

Enjoy your vacation, Michael
