Autocracy thrives on fear, misinformation, and complacency. Democracies fall not because of the strength of autocrats, but the silence of those who let it happen. #Democracy #Autocracy #Freedom - ThreadSky

very profound truth, thank you. to those speaking the words "never" or "its too late" those words have power. I understand stepping away from the fight but please direct your thoughts, words and prayers to positively support the warriors who are still fighting for truth, kindness and freedom

I think that what we are mostly up against is misinformation. We need to undo hundreds, or thousands, of years of propaganda. Even many of the people who consider themselves revolutionaries are not questioning what has been in our culture for 12,000 years.

We have some very hard times ahead. More than I ever thought would happen in my lifetime. These are reassuring quotes.

People keep silent because of their greed rather than the fear. Because our society is structured upon material success hence greed is promoted. Greedy people are like drug addicts they don't have a backbone.

A dictator is only strong until the rich oligarchs support him. The U.S. has an internal feeling of democracy but is a total dictator and or a bully for the rest of the world, but its citizens are only concerned if they feel uncomfortable.

Terror threats are designed to silence us & unfortunately I believe the new regime is closing in with that tactic. The alternatives to silence will involve French Resistance type efforts from which many true resistors will not survive. It will be ugly but heroes for democracy will emerge. 🇺🇸🇺🇸😔

We the people need to resist.

Georgia is the example
