Mr. Potter is literally what the majority of America has always mirrored. A selfish, careless, and corrupt place that only cares for the interests of themselves. If more people tried to be like George Bailey, imagine how much better we’d be. When compassion, kindness, and love what matters most.

It took approximately 30 years, but the inherent truth and clarity of this scene gnawed away at my conscience until I finally could not take it any longer. I broke with my family, dropped the rock-ribbed Conservatism of my childhood and adolescence, and registered as a Democrat. Voted Democratic ever since; some 20 years now. We win some, we lose some. But my conscience is clean. Thank you, Jimmy Stewart! Carry on my Good Man 😃

Imagine... this man had just returned from WW II, a war on six of seven continents, flying 20 bombing missions over Europe being fired-upon in -30° degrees. He was a Colonel in the great war, eventually becoming a Brigadier General in the Army Air Corps. James Stewart... a true Renaissance Man. BRAVO ZULU!

If Hans Gruber and his men had seized control of the Bailey Brothers Building and Loan Association and if Gruber had shot Peter Bailey for not helping him ("Alas Mr. Bailey von't be joining us for zee rest uff his life.") and if George Bailey and Uncle Billy had started killing Gruber's men and if Mr. Potter had been shot to death while trying to negotiate with Gruber, I'm pretty sure either Die Hard or It's A Wonderful Life would have been a much different movie. On the other hand, if George Bailey had said, "Yippee Ki-Yay, mother ... " while he was with Clarence the Angel, George's mother would have said, "Mother? What do you want?" It's kind of sad to think that Bert the Cop might have shot a kid if George Bailey hadn't been alive to stop it.

George Bailey is always referred to as symbolizing the goodness of the "common man", but I would argue that he symbolizes the UNcommon man. It's the uncommon man that stands up to bullies and shows empathy. The common man is the one who sits by and does nothing.

Watching this in 2024 is both inspiring and infuriating. We are faced with a country that not only elected Mr. Potter for president once, but did it again after he tried to destroy the Constitutional fabric of our society. There is no difference between Trump and Potter. Both are greedy, scumbag slumlords who cheat and steal from people who already have nothing to give. At least Mr. Potter didn’t get a million dollar loan from his father. All of this because Trump scapegoats immigrants, trans people, and anyone else he can think of to blind working people to the fact that the Republican Party has been shafting them since the Great Depression.

Naw, Trump represents George. Harris, Biden and Obama represent Potter. People have rallied against the Potters of the country, because they had a George standing between them and the government elite. One that got shot for his ideals and because he stands for the working man. And if you think it's all propaganda, you look at the policies that he's trying to enact. He's not taking away abortion, adult's right to transition, or even deporting legal immigrants. "Is it too much to have them work, pay, live, and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath?!?" Is more or less Trump's stance on the matter. And the more you call him a Potter, the more people will side with him. Because they've seen the virtue signaling you've all done while pardoning the Democrats. If you're not, well at least you hold both to the same standard..
