“We have to do something, and something stupid is all I can think of so YOLO!”
No, we are not compelled to throw our bodies and the bodies of our allies on bayonets just because they are being presented to us.
The majority of those soldiers are not going to follow orders to kill peaceful civilians. Most are on our side. We need to keep the protests up to maintain visibility for both allies and enemies. We should also pursue harm reduction strategies to protect impacted minorities, like the underground railroad or the hiding of Jews in WWII.
One thing this administration has proven over and over again is that they are only willing to stick their own necks out so far. Trump desperately wants to be a fascist but he just doesn’t have the balls to take the risks to get there.
The one bit of work that desperately needs to get done is continuing to convince Democratic voters that we can no longer afford to let elites rule the Democratic party, or let corporate media define all the framing for our politics. Trump is going to implode, but right now the Democrats are pathetically ill-equiped to capitalize on it. If we get a Democrat in 2028 and that Democrat is another corporate stooge like Clinton, Obama, and Biden were, the country really is over.
