Listen, did you ever had a bad boss, a terrible person, at a job that you can't, for whatever reason, quit? Did you learn to delay, obfuscate, frustrate, and otherwise fuck up that person just to the line where you could keep your job? Congratulations, you have the tools to resist authoritarianism!
It’s important to remember that resisting takes many forms—including throwing sand in the gears and just not… rolling over in advance—and they’re all needed and useful.
“Saying “No, it’s over! Don’t be so naive!” [is] really just rolling out a red carpet, the ultimate capitulation in advance. At the very least, put him to the task. Make him execute on what he’s trying to do. That’s the first role of a political opposition.” 👇

It was a 49% to 48% election.
Fascism won by a hair.
And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.

Yes. This. Each time I post about the hypocrisy I'm getting these kinds of cynical responses, and really, stop it. I get that everyone copes in their own way, but don't pre-give in. Fight for your actual rights. Call out the hypocrisy. Not to convince them, but to remind everyone else.
Getting a lot of replies along the lines of "oh, you rube, you still think the law matters" and it feels strategically foolish to just concede that it doesn't. Contest everything. Expose the hypocrisy.
