The nation is under attack under this administration in so many ways it’s hard to keep track. Part of the problem is that people aren’t engaged and aren’t informed.
The Internet isn’t enough. Donating isn’t enough. People need face-to-face human interaction and the ability to participate in their system.
Here’s a question: what would it take to have every single city and county in America — especially the suburban, exurban, and rural areas — hold civil, educational political forums every week or two? They’d bring in the politically unaffiliated or uninterested, speak to political opponents, make people feel involved… and alarmed! Maybe even knock on doors?
What would that take — is it feasible? Would it be useful? And is anyone trying it?
