It was in the late 60s because I couldnt drive yet

My father and I were stopped at a traffic light.

The light changed and a small Triumph sports car was coming from the other side.

It veered towards us and got T-boned by a car traveling at very high speed.

The sports car was spun around like a top and almost destroyed. I remember seeing car parts flying around.

The driver of the car being chased died instantly. One guy in the Triumph was thrown out of the car and had severe head injuries.

The driver of the Triumph was wearing a seatbelt and wasn’t hurt that I noticed.

The police came flying up to the intersection just seconds after the accident.

It happened so fast I didn’t realize how close we we to the collision.

I’ve worn a seatbelt religiously ever since then.

That was touching

Americans can be quite noble and generous when they aren’t constantly being whipped into a frenzy of hate and fear.

Our immediate problem is fighting off the ongoing attempt to overthrow our government.

Once that is accomplished, the biggest problem we have as a nation is the dishonest, hateful, inflammatory right wing echo chamber.

It has deepened our divisions and poisoned so many minds with disinformation.

I believe in a free press, but this is a propaganda machine that should not be allowed to continue unchecked.

We need to reinstate the fairness doctrine or regulate propaganda disguised as news and opinion.

Trump would never have come to power without talk radio.

How about impeachment rallies in DC twice a month until the orange stain is removed?

I've never organized anything like before this but as fired up and angry as many people are, I bet we could draw a million people to D.C. Starting in March or April, when it's not ridiculously cold.

Start drawing huge crowds and maybe our law makers would do the right thing.

It would be a great forum for talking about epionage, lying, collusion and conspiracy.

Oh, and don't forget laundering money for Russian mobsters.

We might be able to change the national conversation and untrack Orange Mussolini's fascist agenda.

We could make it clear that there is nothing normal about this situation.

Thoughts, comments, advice from experienced organizers?
