Every time I see someone say "Call your politician!" All I can think of is this image.
If you were a fascist, would you care about any number of phone calls?
It takes an angry mob outside their office, their home, everywhere they go. Fascists only understand fear and hate.

I agree that social media isn't a replacement for activism, and I of course agree that techbro fascists use social media algorithms for propaganda, in various ways.
But ignoring the power of social media is a bad idea.
Many people fall down political rabbit holes due to social media.
We need to fight on every battlefield. That means in real life, in the courts, and online.
Not only that, but social media is a powerful tool for organizing, publicizing, normalizing acts of irl resistance.
