My inspiration would be what I always tell myself when I feel utterly defeated - when I hear about the Koch Brothers and the Union busting and the trying to [force] photo IDs for voting - I always say, just remember, ultimately the right-wingers never ever win; because society keeps progressing without them. If conservatives and right-wingers were victorious we would still own slaves, women wouldn’t vote, there would be no birth control, no public school education, […] there would still be a Triangle Shirtwaist Factory if right-wingers ultimately won.
- Janeane Garofalo, Majority.fm, when asked for words of inspiration.
It was great to hear Janeane talking with Sam Seder again, it’s been quite some time - I especially liked her point about society moving forward and “progressing without them”. I hope she’s right.
