Here's that version.

I think that a hell of a lot of our electeds are as filled with outrage as we are. And many of them are doing a good job of speaking out.

The problem as I see it is that too few are skilled at formulating a set of simple, powerful messages, and then hammering those messages relentlessly. It is as if they believe a few speeches or or statements condemning the corruption and lawlessness is sufficient. It seems to me some are worried about being repetitious, so they try to change things to "keep it interesting." To often, they have their talking points on topic and fail to connect EVERYTHING back to scandalous acts of lawlessness and corruption.

And then there are the parts of the Democratic "family" that are stuck in Politics as Usual mode, and somehow still believe that keeping the focus narrow, on "kitchen table" issues like "affordability" or "healthcare" is the path to winning elections. It is a belief that is insane when we are faced with the unprecedented and the systematic destruction of executive agencies. rendering them incapable of carrying out our will as codified in our body of law, and the systematic attempts to corrupt our elections, and thereby render them incapable of measuring our will in the first place.

I was encouraged with Abagail Spanberger's response to the SOTU. While she started with a focus on affordability and healthcare, she also addressed the horrors of the ICE reign of terror and the scale of corruption. It was a short speech, but she wove in inspiring messages of faith in people-power to fight back. She took ownership patriotism on behalf of those who are standing against the immoral actions. She invoked Geo Washington's warning in his farewell speech about "cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men" rising to power, as well as his call to "unite in a common cause" to move this nation forward. I think it was a decent blueprint for how to take on the corruption and lawlessness in simple terms.
