I would be reassured if most of us (especially Democrats with power !! ) seemed to realize how serious this is. This is not Nixon. This is not Reagan. This is more than an incompetent buffoon who conned people. This is a broad movement involving many RW radical groups and billionaires whose procedures are well advanced. I agree that a declaration to "fight" is too vague and mostly useless. I absolutely agree with those who urge us not to capitulate in advance. I agree that finger pointing is a bad idea and not useful except that it may help as we to try to understand why this happened. We should keep in mind that it has taken years, not just an election cycle.
Very soon we need to get going.
We have a few weeks, a few days, to get into action. I am terrified that Biden will not use his power as president and will do nothing. I am terrified that Democratic politicians will do almost nothing of significance. I am terrified that the justice system has capitulated in advance. I am terrified that the supreme court is controlled by MAGA radicals. I am frightened by the fascists' aim to get control of the military. (That one is really serious.) I am concerned about the number of minds that have been captured by the con man. I am concerned that I am not seeing much in the way of action. OK, so it has not yet been a week. But the time is short.
And I am sure as hell not planning on giving up !
