The Radio show host, activist, & entrepreneur Tim Danahey puts Jan 6 into perspective as he discusses Trump’s constitutional jihad.
Tim Danahey gets it right
Tim Danahey and I go back a very long time. We were both on the Coffee Party USA Board of Directors. I always considered Tim a moderate. He refers to himself as a Progressive who knows how to get things done. The thing is, we respect each other’s point of view as ultimately we are trying to get to the same place.
When I got a text from him, I contacted him and asked him to interview, especially today, Jan 6, 2022. After all, this is the first anniversary where the USA almost lost its Democracy.
Curious: Would it be effective wordplay to associate Trump with a word negative to right wingers by saying, “Trump has declared jihad on the U.S. Constitution”? Silly, but it might provide a context for those enamored with him. One could also say, “Trump declares political fatwa on anyone who disagrees with him.” Words used with Khomeini and bin Laden could be associated with Trump. No need to respond. ‘ just musing.
I thought this was genius because we know that the Right plays this game incessantly. The difference is that while Tim claims that he was just musing, the jihad and fatwa in those contexts are apropos.
Tim got back to me and conducted the interview a few minutes later. Our electronic world sure allows us to communicate and organize much faster. Please listen to the entire interview. It is very enlightening.
