In the 12 days since Ohio’s junior senator was tapped as the future of Donald J. Trump’s movement, old comments and a chorus of derision have blunted any sense of invulnerability.
What’s sad is that I, and many others, sit here on Lemmy ingesting such horrible and depressing news about our world today — be it housing crisis, food availability, or any number of other topics — and feeling powerless to do anything about it. It’s maddening.
I decided that in my small way I’d make an attempt to do something about it. So, on every post about Vance, I would simply post a call to action. It’s nothing big or earth shattering. Just a simple political statement.
I am pleasantly surprised at the positive reception I have gotten (the upvotes and people expressing their approval through comments). But it’s ok if you don’t like them. I guess in a way it’s like the tide of beans memes that went around for a while — I didn’t like them myself, so I ignored them.
I’ll offer you this picture of beans as a peace offering. No hard feelings. 😊
