I\u2019ve hesitated writing a post entitled Harvey,<\/em> just that name alone unattached to anything else. I\u2019ve resisted because it seems to empower the name, the event. But when I think about it, I realize this hurricane\/tropical storm\/rainmaker is like Trump himself. It won\u2019t go away. And that, I think, is the global synchro here.<\/p>\n

Regardless of how many records Harvey breaks \u2013 or how many laws Trump breaks or how many stories seem to piece together the Russian hacking of our 2016 election,\u00a0 both of them stick around. They won\u2019t fade away, move on, allow us to live in any sort of semblance of peace.<\/p>\n

If you Google Harvey<\/em>, you\u2019ll find all the records it has broken \u2013 the 50 inches of rain, the horrific flooding, scenes worse than Katrina. If you Google Trump and climate change, you\u2019ll find he\u2019s a denier. His pick for the EPA, Scott Pruitt<\/a>, is proof enough of that. The man is a climate change denier, who says that \u201cscience shouldn\u2019t dictate American policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seriously?<\/p>\n

And suppose science hadn\u2019t dictated NASA\u2019s explorations?<\/p>\n

Or medical discoveries?<\/p>\n

Or geographical discoveries?<\/p>\n

If Trump is the human face of America\u2019s collective shadow, then Harvey is the physical manifestation of that shadow\u2019s destruction.<\/p>\n

The message here is clear.<\/p>\n

Democracy is an experiment. Right now, it\u2019s hobbling along with a powerful free press that Trump despises, a dysfunctional congress where one party owns all three branches of government but can\u2019t accomplish anything, and a few outspoken Repub critics. Few Dems support the progressive vision Bernie Sanders stands for, so who\u00a0 are they now other than the minority?<\/p>\n

C\u2019mon, Democrats. Step up! You guys are the ones who established Social Security, Medicare, the safety nets that keep the country compassionate. Where are you now??<\/p>\n

Harvey, Trump, the two are inseparable. Everything else? We’re collateral damage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
