the one third of the US who are fascists to take over. We will have to get our own selves out of this mess by the education and engagement of the non-fascist electorate.

with a lot of overlap. They speak the same language. History pretty clear. Religion and Fascism cause war and suffering. It will require at least a temporary united alliance of moderates and progressives to defeat this regime and defend democracy.

We simply cannot allow the Oligarchs and Charlie Kirk types of the world win.

are absolutely fascists, or authoritarians. But I included them in that one third. There is also about one third of the electorate who are ignorant and apathetic, as long as they get their hamberders and sportsball they don't really care. The challenge that the Republicans had was to eviscerate democracy before enough of the ignorant and apathetic third woke up. The challenge that the Democratic party has is to educate and engage that third before the Republicans reduce US democracy to a charade.

Justice matters.

And IF the criminal Fascist-In-Chief fails at his next attempt to steal the elections (like Putin does in Russia).
