I did a bit of looking about and it seems to be a slogan that turned up at one of the big protests right after Donald Trump was inaugurated. So I guess you could interpret it as something along the lines of "Don't ignore the voice of the people or there's gonna be consequences".
I don't generally do much political stuff on Detritus of Empire. Its often rather tawdry and it is not as if the marketplace of ideas is not full of it 24-7. But I do have to observe that last week's elections would seem to bear up the general concept of this if not the specific original meaning.
A New Jersey truck driver with a minimal budget unseated the leader of the State Senate. And a moderately unpleasant political hack - oh, there are worse out there - found out just how deeply parents feel that, yes indeed they should have a say in what public schools teach.
Interesting times. Whatever your political frame of reference it is good to see that even in an age where information can be massaged, suppressed or just plain made up, it is still possible to Throw the Rascals Out via the ballot box.
