I don’t mean elected officials. I mean us. You can’t beat fascism by hoping someone else will fix things. Ordinary members of the populace need to start flexing their political muscles all the time, not just during elections. We always have power but representative democracy tries to convince us otherwise.
The trouble is we as individuals can’t do it alone. If hundreds of people start marching towards DC to physically remove rogue officials from office I’ll join them.
Me too, big time. But our officials elected and otherwise seem to be mostly riding it out. Except quite a few non-supreme court judges.
