Susan Sarandon Reminds Us to 'Show Up' and Resist Trump. Like You Did, Susan?

In the wake of the Women’s March and its sister marches across the world, it’s important to remember that we remember that marching wasn’t the end of the story, that we must keep up the activism and join all necessary fights over the next four years.

But that sentiment rings a bit hollow when it comes from someone who was an active part of what got us here.

Susan Sarandon’s single vote wasn’t a deciding factor and could change nothing. But she used her platform to further the idea that not only was Hillary Clinton a bad choice, but that she was worse than Donald Trump. And this idea permeated every corner of every county that gave him that electoral college win. And here we fucking are.

And people noticed.

Ultimately it doesn’t matter. Susan Sarandon wants “The Revolution.” And as for the fallout? It won’t touch her anyway. As for the rest of us? Take whatever privilege you have, however small, and use it for good.

Or, in short, don’t be Susan Sarandon.
