Worth fighting for

The great man says, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”

“But for what?” I ask.

Fight against the “deep state” so he can empower those loyal to him rather than to service?

Fight for lower taxes for the wealthy?

Fight for retribution? His or ours?

Fight for Israel “finishing the job” in Gaza?

Fight for a unitary executive?

Or should we rather:

Fight for taking the profit out of health care and providing Medicare for all?

Fight for a living wage?

Fight for government agencies that protect the environment and the consumer.

Fight for a cease-fire in Gaza and a just solution for Palestinians?

Fight for the idea of equality for all that underscores democracy?

Fight for no one being above the law?

Yes, we must fight! Fight! Fight! — for a government of laws, not of men.
