We’re living through a fundamental shift in how discourse is created. Institutions once shaped a shared reality through discourse - imperfectly, but with structure. Now, that reality has splintered. In its place, engagement-driven ecosystems amplify whatever resonates, truth optional.

A threat.

I told him to tell them “if you think it can’t happen to you - you haven’t been paying close attention” Don’t let your media be polluted with disinformation
The constitution wasn't designed to / cannot deal with situations like this
Legitimate political power requires the ongoing consent of the people
Americans overthrew their government one time
No history book wrongs them for doing so

Pro democracy forces are very bad at unified messaging and that needs to stop.
