Michael Moore: Morning-After To-Do List
By Michael Moore [1] / AlterNet [2]
November 9, 2016
1. Take over the Democratic Party and return it to the people. They have
failed us miserably.
2. Fire all pundits, predictors, pollsters and anyone else in the media who
had a narrative they wouldn't let go of and refused to listen to or
acknowledge what was really going on. Those same bloviators will now tell us
we must "heal the divide" and "come together." They will pull more hooey
like that out of their ass in the days to come. Turn them off.
3. Any Democratic member of Congress who didn't wake up this morning ready
to fight, resist and obstruct in the way Republicans did against President
Obama every day for eight full years must step out of the way and let those
of us who know the score lead the way in stopping the meanness and the
madness that's about to begin.
4. Everyone must stop saying they are "stunned" and "shocked." What you mean
to say is that you were in a bubble and weren't paying attention to your
fellow Americans and their despair. YEARS of being neglected by both
parties, the anger and the need for revenge against the system only grew.
Along came a TV star they liked whose plan was to destroy both parties and
tell them all "You're fired!"
Trump's victory is no surprise. He was never a joke. Treating him as one
only strengthened him. He is both a creature and a creation of the media and
the media will never own that.
5. You must say this sentence to everyone you meet today: "HILLARY CLINTON
WON THE POPULAR VOTE!" The MAJORITY of our fellow Americans preferred
Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. Period. Fact. If you woke up this morning
thinking you live in an effed-up country, you don't. The majority of your
fellow Americans wanted Hillary, not Trump. The only reason he's president
is because of an arcane, insane, 18th-century idea called the Electoral
College. Until we change that, we'll continue to have presidents we didn't
elect and didn't want.
You live in a country where a majority of citizens have said they believe
there's climate change, they believe women should be paid the same as men,
they want a debt-free college education, they don't want us invading
countries, they want a raise in the minimum wage and they want a
single-payer true universal health care system. None of that has changed. We
live in a country where the majority agree with the "liberal" position. We
just lack the liberal leadership to make that happen (see: #1 above).
Let's try to get this all done by noon today.
Michael Moore is an Academy Award-winning filmmaker and bestselling author.
