'Our House Is on Fire': Suburban Women Lead Charge Vs. Trump
US News & World Report ^ | October 19, 2020 | Claire Galafaro

TROY, Mich. (AP) — She walks with the determination of a person who believes the very fate of democracy might depend on the next door she knocks on, head down, shoulders forward. She wears nothing fussy, the battle fatigues of her troupe: yoga pants and sneakers. She left her Lincoln Aviator idling in the driveway, the driver door open -- if this house wasn’t the one to save the nation, she can move quickly to the next.

For most of her life, until 2016, Lori Goldman had been politically apathetic. Had you offered her $1 million, she says, she could not have described the branches of government in any depth. She voted, sometimes.

Now every moment she spends not trying to rid America of President Donald Trump feels like wasted time.

“We take nothing for granted,” she tells her canvassing partner. “They say Joe Biden is ahead. Nope. We work like Biden is behind 20 points in every state.”

Goldman spends every day door knocking for Democrats in Oakland County, Michigan, an affluent Detroit suburb. She feels responsible for the country’s future: Trump won Michigan in 2016 by 10,700 votes and that helped usher him into the White House. Goldman believes people like her -- suburban white women -- could deliver the country from another four years of chaos.

For many of those women, the past four years have meant frustration, anger and activism — a political awakening that powered women's marches, the #MeToo movement and the victories of record numbers of female candidates in 2018. That energy has helped create the widest gender gap — the political divide between men and women — in recent history. And it has started to show up in early voting as women are casting their ballots earlier than men.

I’m not one to hold up a cross to ward off vampires and evil but in her case, I’ll make an exception.

[Exactly how I pictured her....]

I’m thinking Chris Farley and a van down by the river.

Is she a motivational speaker, too?

She’s probably a shiksa married to a Jewish guy named Goldman.

Lori Goldman should move to the ghetto instead of assaulting everyone with it.

She’s upset because even Criminal Joe wouldn’t sniff her hair.

next door she knocks on, head down, shoulders forward.


Recalls the time a few elections back when the Dem phrase ‘Lean Forward’ was operative and the activists walked around leaning forward - so ridiculous - right out of Monty Python’s Silly Walks.
