"I lived through McCarthy. I lived through Nixon. This new asshole doesn't define our country any more than those old assholes did. Protect the people you can. We'll get through this."
My mom's grandmother was Native American, and lived to be 95 (into the 60s), yet never was able to vote. First when Native Americans got the vote, she was a woman so they wouldn't register her. Then when women got the vote, she was Native so they wouldn't register her.
She compensated by drilling it in to her granddaughter, my mom, that she must ALWAYS, ALWAYS vote. To make up for the votes she, my great-great-grandmother couldn't cast. We'll be making that one up for a few more generations, I think.
My mom believes in The System - that it's set up properly, and that the slow wheels of justice will eventually grind to a satisfactory conclusion. I'm not sure I share her unshakable faith. And even if it does, during the "eventually" so many are hurt. So many die.
I love my mom. But to fix this we need people who don't believe in the system.
