This is correct. Every future election cannot be democracy vs. fascism on the ballot. Preventing that moving forward will require a massive, detailed rewrite of how the United States is governed. Elected leaders who aren't prepared for dramatic change need to get out of the way.
People need a plan that does not depend on Democrats winning elections forever.
Your plan for American democracy needs to work even if different parties win the presidency and Congress over time.
Democracy is a system in which people have freedom, participate equally, and power alternates.

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

As WSJ calls Mamdani a "communist" for suggesting that the wealthiest pay tax rates that are still lower than they were under Eisenhower, Trump is engaged in bona fide communism by forcing state ownership of major commercial ventures. Here's yet another one.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

It’s past time for Blue State governors from CA, NY, IL, MN, WA, OR, MA etc filling up fed coffers with tax revenues to have discussions on what can a “blue state compact” look like exploring practicable soft secession - ie escrow accounts for tax payers from those states.
What is the point of appropriations if the White House can just cut off spending against its enemies?

STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?
RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.

For those too young to remember the lead up to the invasion of Iraq, this is actually nothing like that. The Iraq invasion (though built on lies) was approved by Congress. This is much more like Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine, or Germany into Poland, etc.
