Until this crisis is over, we are not divided into Republicans and Democrats. We are divided into those who support the US Constitution, and those who support Donald Trump. These categories do not overlap.

Everyone yelling at Dems to do something, it's on us to vote, to talk to our neighbors about what's going on so that they're incensed and understand how serious it is, to listen to them talk about what scares them and have some empathy, to be active in our commuties not just politically. It's on us.

Democrats need to start thinking tactically and seeing the US as a whole and not just their deep blue areas where they can get elected over and over. The strongest need to fan out to red areas to flip them, and meanwhile the blue districts can grow new Dem leaders.
