How do nations

Overcome fascist and/or authoritarian regimes?

Think back to Marcos and Corazon Aquino's people power. Ukrains orange revolution. I'm really sorry but you guys are pissing around as if it will all be OK come the next election.a

Twenty five recs on social media is not a movement. It's about a millioneth of the resistance required to even move the needle against these guys. I don't like it any more than you do, even though I'm literally half a world away.

I'm looking at the fragility of a democratic society which, in essence requires people to DO THE RIGHT THING. Act with integrity and good faith Instead you have a cabal of liars, cheats, swindlers, unbalanced people, partisans - everything bad is now the daily way of life in the US.

The US is pissing around with hundreds of protests when what it really needs is millions of folk to take to the street and take it right up to these fascist bastards. No keyboard warriors, no videos, no podcasts. Get out there and fucking MARCH.
