Ha! America's democracy WILL NOT survive the next four years. You're swimming upstream against Bannon et al's stream of shit. Americans are stupid. They won.

resistance doesn't have to go with violence most of the time, placing cars and protest at key section's often to cripple their economy, deny service for republicans and supporters, protest in public rather than on the web,
In order to do that, he needs to get the military on his side. I don’t see it. It would just be a civil war. He knows he has 4 years left to drain the country of its assets before fucking off into the sunset.
He already said anyone “woke” and that is basically not a “yes man” is gone. I think their plan IS to get the Military on their side. At this point I’m preparing for the worst case senario.
Sage words. In light of what appears to be a wave of coming inflation, where are you putting your money? How much can Trump F up a long-term S&P play? Land banking?
I see this saying Dems should save the US from the worst trump outcomes- but what if- and I mean this seriously- we let trump do his shit full scale. Let him ruin the economy and impoverish the USA. Feel the pain instead of being bailed out by Dems who keep being demonized. Learn by experience.
I'll move mountains to try and help folks who did not vote for this guy- but when my republican neighbor starts posting on GoFundMe because trump increased the price of his insulin, the guy is on his own. He knew folks were gonna be harmed, and he chose that thinking it was only others harmed
Dems have spent actual decades saving the USA from the worst impulses of Reagans and Bush, and Trumps on the first round. We had Nazis march on Charlottesville and the USA was like- yes round 2.
Let these people have what they want like the old-timey parent who made the kid smoke the whole pack.
No, because we would land on a slippery slope from which it would take another WWII and one more Albert Einstein to take the US out of the hole, but only if Scott Galloway becomes the new FDR.
We're already sliding down that slope. My brother (republican) has been saying there is a civil war coming for 8 years now. I went no contact with him because he basically wants to start it between us and he's a maniac, but he was surrounded by other republican nodding heads about CW comments.
I'll be honest—the situation is dire, and it won’t be an easy task. But we owe it to our families and our country to unite. It will take grassroots unification and a shoulder-to-shoulder fight because the real enemy is the few at the top. For those of us at the bottom, party lines do not matter.
You stand next to my brother against trumpism and you'll get stabbed in the side, hes not gonna unite with you. Nor is any other member of my family. They think you are the enemy, to be clear.
You and your family do not unite for me, but for the strength of your own kin, for the prosperity of this great nation, and for the betterment of yourselves. The time to act is now.
It's cute (I mean that in a very very patronizing way) how so many people naively frame this as a problem for "the next 4 years". Do you really believe we'll have free and fair elections again anytime soon?
Yeah I don’t know about that. I don’t see how we can “make it through” by “working” with them. I feel like we tried last time and at this point, it’s just gonna have to be ugly.
This take is exactly how we got right where are now.
Put a fucking rapist in charge & tell me to find common ground, regarding PRINCIPLES because he deserves a seat? No.
The “Silent Majority” is irrelevant, only the extreme left or right make a difference. The DNC has had many chances to take Orange Hitler down but didn’t because most are on the same corporate payroll. It’s time for a new party that represents the people to take over.
While I liked the ideas in the piece, most assume that voters will understand/pay attention to nuance, which the election clearly demonstrated they do not. We don't need a 'resist here/go along there' approach. We need a megaphone as big as the right-wing propaganda machine.
AND also great journalism. That is a must to call out all the horrible things and the people impacted. The media (news) has to pull themselves together.
Wow people are up in arms here. Yes yes we know who and what we are dealing with and resistance is in order in so many cases!! and that is really the job of our democratic congresspeople. We as little pee-ons have little control. What we can control is gearing up for the ballot box.
Hi Scott, huge fan of you and Kara. As a Canadian, we have anxiety about your election, given the similarities to events 80 years ago. Is it possible for Trump and pals able to erode America’s democracy and become something much darker, what would it take? Democracy falls when institutions bow.
Thank you, i havent stopped shaking since i cast my vote for Kamala. I've been locked up in my room away from my bigot dad who won't stop rubbing neo hitlers victory in my face. your words have been the only light in my dark world.
Thank you for this info. It helps me knowing that I am not giving up when my thoughts were along the same lines. We can't fight everything. They know that. Focus on what's most important and try to somehow work together when we can.
Raging and Moderate don't even remotely go together no matter how they force it.
They don't recognize that we're all forced on this planet due to other people's decisions into a socio-economic system we never agreed to beforehand. Otherwise, they'd be left of Ds.
@profgalloway.com let’s not forget that it is the position of ‘moderates’ like you on blindly supporting the Palestinian genocide that brought us into this position in the first place. You are the LAST person anyone should be listening to for a way forward.
No Resilience! No Resistance! This has to be all out OPPOSITION! No more bringing knives to gun fights. We can’t assume that anything will ever go back to the way it was.
Is this not what Dems have always done? This basically says, "This time is different, do more of the same."
Last time I checked, they compromised in the ACA, they signed NAFTA although more Republicans voted for it. We keep telling Dems to compromise, and then get Shocked Pikachu face every time.
I honestly see no way for the United States to recover from our complete collapse into an unfettered oligarchy, in a peaceful manner, and I adhere to a code of strict non-violence.
Convincing democrats to keep their powder dry on Trump outrages sounds good, but how do we address the fact that the ecosystem incentivises anger from the resistance as much as the MAGA folks? The fighting itself generates engagement for the platforms, so how do we focus the beam effectively?
I'm not reading some fantasy piece that believes this will only last 4 years; it just shows me that the writer hasn't read Project 2025 which plans to do away with free & fair elections.
If people want to help other survive then stop acting like their plan isn't to stay in power in 4 years

“Let’s work with Nazis. Just a little deportation. Surely they won’t take more if we give them everything they want!”
Outrageous.
