@stephenking.bsky.social , I’m sorry, no. This has not worked. Now the Nazi-sympathizers are running the country and we have no peaceful means to remove them. Ignoring them will not work. And, frankly, that’s only an option if you’re white and male. For the rest of us, our rights are on the line.

16/ Fourth, angry posts to social media do little (haha). Joining/supporting orgs makes a much bigger difference. That could be your local political party or the local chapter of a human rights org. Organization is what wins political power.

10/ Is there reason to panic? NO. Democracies collapse but the fight for just government continues. We should be prepared for all outcomes, and we should *fight smart.* Let's talk first about resources to *stay informed*:

2/ First, let me first point out that a full democratic collapse isn't very likely even with Trump in office. I'll give more reasons later, but a big one is YOU--all the people who want democracy to survive. YOU all are the best hope for democracy.
