It is OK for us to acknowledge (briefly) that the scope of the evil overwhelming America right now is "awesome" in the oldest sense of that word—it produces a momentary, _paralyzing_ awe.
It's hard to know what to talk about or write about or fight back against first due to the size of the assault.

We need a new plan.......
We don't need wealthy people in politics, and we shouldn't vote for anyone who accepts bribes.
Citizens United made it legal, secret & without any limitations.

Focus on what main stream media is not talking about. It’s all bad but the most dangerous to democracy needs focus and a voice.
Whomever is pulling Trump's strings know what they are doing.
Dems had 4 years to fix this.
They did nothing.
The same thing is happening here. A tiny group of fascists have shocked us into immobility.
One civil, clear, brief one-topic online note or written letter to an elected representative on any level is one way of responding.

Im just sitting here, eating my lunch, minding my own gotdamn business. This is on folks that decided authoritarian fuckheads were better than the nice, overeducated, over-experienced Black lady who was gonna give us $50k as a down payment and build 3m new homes.
Only options i can see.
The level of anger I feel is beyond imagination.
We spooked Nixon by surrounding the White House.

This time it won't be a march on Washington, it will be:

We are going from a weak Republic to a full monarchy.
1. Lie about everything. Make people numb to it.
2. Always outrage. By the time we "respond", we're 4 outrages behind.
3. Accuse others of everything you're doing so when you're caught you can say "they say it, we say it, it's just political talk".
4. Control the news cycle.
It all sounds bad, but looks horrific when we focus on the impacts to individuals, communities, and society.
we have to take care of ourselves first so we can be there to help others stay in the fight with us.

Which they told us already.

Today I’m doing one action item from the advice on how to fight authoritarianism. Just doing something, whatever it is, fights that paralyzing shock.
Determining those requires KNOWLEDGABLE LEADERS to point these out and organize US against them
