I had someone message me "where do we go from here" and I think folks are missing the forest for the trees here.
The attacks on the Democrats are 100% freaking them out. This is extremely good.

People en masse smacking them with emails and calls and meetings — is exactly how you get pols to work. They can ignore their consultants and pollsters. They can't ignore their voters bothering them.
Ever were a time to remind them who they work for, and who pays their salaries — now might be the time.
Up to 41% of Americans agree with the kind of ideas that QAnon espouses. Thus normalised, QAnon has been explicitly working at every level from boards of education up to Congress. Trump couldn't have won without those 41% writing, supporting & canvassing.
Civility politics and defeatism/lesser-evilism did a lot to disempower blue voters. MAGA lacks that problem.
And I doubt I'm the only one.
Not giving up for anything though.
A handful of the House members are making the media rounds, and being much more direct. AOC is beefing with Homan. Crockett is breaking things down into real-people terms.
Not a lot. But there are a handful of them trying to break the party leash.
It's still bullshit, they are all useless hacks, but they are getting rattled which is exactly what you need.

My phone hates me and the feeling is mutual.
1) Make the Democrats feel 1/1000th of the pain they are causing regular Americans.
2) Force the Democrats to make the Republicans feel 1/1000th of the pain they are causing regular Americans.
Pressure everywhere.
On the "are protesters actually putting the Democrats in new headspaces?" the answer is absofuckinglutely.
This isn't slowing down or stopping. And they better get in line or get out of the fucking way.
The Dem voters will fall in line and vote for them anyway, so they can ignore you safely.
Fighting fascism are you kidding me? Literally the most evil ideology humans have ever devised. Turns out a lot of other citizens feel similarly!
That if we all want to survive, they need to speak out and stand up and use their platform. Call out the lies, call out the unconstitutional shit, call out the illegal shit and scream 'we wont take it'
