I've been posting here about #taxresistance and other approaches to #softsecession

MAGA makes plain that it doesn't represent those whose political views differ from the president's and, in fact, POTUS has said explicitly and repeatedly that his govt is fighting a war against the enemy within.

There is no longer any moral basis to this government's claim on our sovereignty.

As long as this usurpation continues, we must resolve to #defundfascism in whatever ways possible.

I’m not a psychologist.

But Trump’s malignant narcissism seems plain.

I’m not a lawyer.

But the collapse of checks and balances and the resultant constitutional crisis seems plain.

I’m not an economist.

But the hollowing out of the public sector for the benefit of corporations and billionaires seems plain.

I am an historian.

And the convergence of these forces has never ended well.

Midnight in America.

Reposting every Monday until, for some reason, I can’t.

Not shocked
Not awed.
Not caving.
Not scared.
Not blinking.
Not packing it in.
Not coming to heel.
Not building bridges.
Not extending grace.
Not asking permission.
Not accepting the lies.
Not quitting.
Ever.

Mass intoxication first requires small, private capitulations. The force of the group substitutes for the weakness of the individual.

Friends:

False equivalence and demoralization are fascist gold.

The MAGA set badly want you to give up any sense of idealistic striving. They need you to believe that the system is rotten and degraded. Once the full promise of democracy has been undercut, nobody objects to its being discarded. That’s their plan: to sully everything in the political imagination until the majority relinquish any claim to something better than their violence and sadism.
