Michael Moore is up to know Good -- again!
If you haven't caught up with "Blue Dots in a Red Sea," yet, do so! (It's a 12 part series of podcasts in progress, NOW.)
In a world where we find ourselves trying to navigate across a vast corporate sea of misinformation -- one that portrays human nature as mostly fucked up and evil -- Michael Moore, sets the record straight.
Challenging the corporate media's projection that the most evil among us -- the rich and powerful (along with their unknowing dupes) -- will always be in control of things, Michael calls on us to get real! Those political maps that give us the impression that we Progressives are tiny blue dots in a vast red sea don't really show what is happening:
In reality: There are more of us than there are of them!
As numerous reputable polls continue to show, item by item, most folks in the country -- even in the red zones -- support a progressive agenda! Most people don't like bullies and bossy people. Most people want to do what's fair. They'll pitch in and help out when they can. (Heck, that even holds true for some of the Republicans you know, right?)
So, WTF? Why so much red?
We just gotta get our political act together!
In "Blue Dots in a Red Sea: How to Win if You're Blue in a Red State" (Each of the 12 podcasts is about 15 - 20 minutes long), Brother Michael makes the case for pulling off a peaceful and loving grass roots revolution in this country.
He's not just "whistling Dixie"here. He backs it up with numerous examples, pointing out some of the places where blue dots have been winning. Just like that old dude in the Bible, blue folks have been parting the Red Sea. It's happening.
Brother Michael then goes on to lay out a strategy and list of practical things we can do to make it happen-- everywhere! (Remember this guy's not just a talented and courageous filmmaker. He's a freakin' activist. As a teenager, he got himself elected to a conservative school board out in Michigan. )
Even if you, like me, live in an area where there are "nothing but blue skies," please have a listen. There's still things you can do. Throw a rant and a link up on social media. Think of friends and family who feel isolated and alone in areas the Republicans have dominated for awhile. Call those folks up, send 'em an email or social media blast.
Get the freakin' word out! This is DO-ABLE!
