Rachel Maddow announces an all out counter attack [View all]

The core of the Republican Party, and their "Dear Leader," have been openly at war with our Constitution, our freedoms and our way of life for the past 10 years. And our Democratic leadership, as usual, has tried to "reach across the aisle" and make nice. They are trying to "make nice" with people who don't really give a damn about American citizens, their well being, or whether they live or die.

On Monday night, Rachel announced that, starting next Monday, when the felon is inaugurated, she will go back to her five day a week schedule. And she will stick to that schedule for the first hundred days of his (mis)administration.

To me, this is the first and biggest counterattack on those who want to rule us permanently. Given the research, attention to detail, and all out effort that goes into getting Rachel on the air every night, this is an effort that could literally kill her. But she's doing what none of our Democratic leadership is doing. She's announced that the depravity and outright brutal fascism that Trump is going to try to solidify in the beginning of his term, will not go unopposed. She will be on the air every night of the week, calling him out, highlighting his "craziness" of the day, and trying to make people aware of the pure evil that has descended upon us.

Where the hell is the rest of the Democratic "leadership?" Where is the effort of Dem billionaires to try to build a propaganda machine to counter that of the Republicans? Will the "rich and famous" get out there at every opportunity and denounce those who are trying to enslave us all? Rachel has publicly said: "I'm all in on this war, and here's what I'm going to do." Where the hell is everyone else?

If we survive the coming onslaught, (and if Mother Nature allows us to survive climate change), I believe that future historians will place Rachel alongside those greats who came forward, took a stand, and made a difference when our democracy and our freedoms were in peril.
