Don't Just Get Mad. Get to Work.

[PETRUS]

President Obama famously said, “Don’t boo! Vote!” And that was good advice, as far as it went. But it didn’t go far enough, especially given the recent events in the Republican-controlled impeachment “trial.” Democracy is not a spectator sport. We can’t just sit back and watch as some benevolent philosopher queen runs things. In fact, Occult Librarian says that the reason that Goddesses and Gods such as Athena and Apollo favor democracy isn’t because it’s an efficient form of government. They favor it because it forces humans to take responsibility for themselves and to grow and develop. We can’t wait for the cavalry to save us – we ARE the cavalry.

I say, don’t just get mad. Get to work. If you, too, were angry, disgusted, and sick to your stomach watching Senate Republicans trash the rule of law and rush to anoint Trump – Trump! the worst human being many of us have ever seen! – a king, then don’t just boo and don’t just vote. Do everything you can to throw those bums out. Don’t just get mad. Get to work.

So what can you do?
