Love, liberty, and justice will win

We are going to win. Women, men, trans people, BIPOC, and children will be victorious.

Times might seem bleak looking at the news. Despair not! Those are just signs that the opposition to liberty and freedom is failing under the weight of nature’s favor of love.

Every person denied freedom throughout history has dreamed of when the forces of division and hate were vanquished.

The time of love, life, happiness, and the freedom to exist is coming.

That makes the weird enemies of liberty quake. It causes strange oligarchs to shovel money to their minions in Congress and the nation’s statehouses—such a waste of time, energy, and money.

I see the signs young people are now awake. As much as old white guys sneer at being “woke,” people these days know there isn’t much good being offered by the likes of little fascists and wealthy narcissists. Everyone has seen that the people society used to think were wise and intelligent are not very.

The “Wizard of Oz” told the same story in the old days. So we see the same with the tech bros who have been left to their own devices and have no public relations or legal teams with the will to stop their juvenile impulses.
