More are speaking up, speaking truth to power. The voices who make Trump squirm. Like Bishop Budde and The Boss. Episcopalian Bishop Mariann Budde, in her sermon at the National Cathedral after Trump’s inauguration, spoke to Trump, saying, “I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now.” and “The first foundation of unity is honoring the inherent dignity of every human being.” More recently, Bruce Springsteen added his voice, speaking his truth, “In my home, in the America that I love…the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world's poorest children…defunding American universities that won’t back down…removing residents off American streets without due process of law.” In both instances, Trump couldn’t handle it, lashing out in true bully-in-the-schoolyard fashion, calling Budde “ungracious,” “not compelling or smart” and “boring and uninspiring.” And Springsteen? The man who douses himself in orange foundation makeup called Springsteen a dried out “prune” with “atrophied” skin, a “pushy obnoxious jerk” and “not a talented guy.” Trump’s childish retorts would seem laughable in another time, but here we are. His taunts won’t stop us. We can be like Bishop Budde and The Boss. They speak our mind. We can speak truth to power in our protests, our letters, at the polls. We can vote for the America that we love, the America we will pull back from Trump’s retrograde authoritarianism. We can do this. Now and in November. Be like Budde and The Boss. We got this.
