This is not about left or right, progressive vs conversative, it's about democracy vs authoritarianism, and authoritarianism is winning.

If we continue down this path, ignoring the collapse of shared reality, failing to rebuild the systems that stabilise truth, we will see democratic norms erode from the inside out. Not in a single catastrophic moment, but in a thousand small compromises.

An entire generation of people raised on memes and Fox News who are just completely unable to separate propaganda from reality. If there is a crisis, it’s epistemological. Fascists will try to bend reality to their ideology, but this always fails in the long run with tons of damage along the way.

@durbin.senate.gov would love to hear what your plan is. Also, hold a town hall.

Again, the πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ & πŸ‡¬πŸ‡± nonsense & the NATO nonsense & the πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ nonsense should have immediately ended Trump's presidency, & our allies are appalled that we have shown ourselves to have no principles at all as a country & no red lines we aren't willing to have crossed. That's not on Trump. It's on all of us.

The constitution has a system in place for a crisis like this, and that system is impeachment and removal from office. That's the mechanism by which this kind of a crisis is supposed to be resolved.
