Michael Moore: We Have to ‘Put Our Bodies on the Line’ to Stop Trump
Daily Beast ^ | June 29, 2018 | Matt Wilstein

In 2004, Michael Moore released his documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 about the run-up to the Iraq War. This September, he will premiere his latest film: Fahrenheit 11/9.

As the liberal filmmaker told Stephen Colbert on The Late Show Thursday night, that date represents the night Donald Trump was elected president. “This is about how the hell we got in this situation and how we’re going to get out of it,” he said.

After playing a clip from the film in which he tries to infiltrate Mar-a-Lago, Colbert asked him if he was “civil” to the people there. “I was as civil as any Eagle Scout Catholic altar boy could be when confronted with the devil,” Moore answered.

Speaking to the great civility debate happening in America right now, Moore continued, saying that Democrats have traditionally been “so wimpy and weak” but now “a few people want to stand up and say, I’ve had enough, that’s it.”

“We don’t have to be violent, we have to remain non-violent, but if the worst that happens to anybody in the Trump administration is that they don’t get to have a chicken dinner in Virginia, I mean, I don’t know,” he said. If it were just basic political differences, Moore said he would not be in favor of throwing Sarah Huckabee Sanders out of a restaurant.

“But that’s not what’s going on now,” he said. “We’re not talking about political differences. We’re talking about thousands of children being kidnapped and put in jails.”

Given how divided the nation seems to be at this moment, Colbert wondered what kind of “endgame” Moore had in mind. “Because you don’t want to end this in violence or any sort of really revolutionary confrontation, you want a political change at the end of this,” he assumed.

I’ll take Moore seriously when he puts his fat ass on the line, like losing 200 pounds for his cause.

I just saw that he also said resisters have to "get off the couch".

Dying. Almost lost coffee on the keyboard.

I visualized it, and it was a real mess. Good thing I was on the imaginary side or I’d have been doused with a putrid mess but it was cleansing in some way. Roger and Me, the only movie of his almost liked, is lost in some long ago time when I had HBO (the early 80s?)and he made some semblance of sense.

Mikey, lay down and I'll flatten you with a steamroller. Trump might have a train, but this Trump Supporter has a steamroller to roll over liberals...Of course hitting you might still damage my steamroller...😀

His body is like that of a beached whale. He is an amorphus pile of fat.

Most of the violence will occur in big cities, where the libs live. If it does get ugly truckers won't drive into dangerous cities. When the trucks stop, people starve. The left cannot win cw2, because of simple logistics. The left are parasites that need us, and we don't need them. A simple general strike will quickly bring the left to their knees.
