    Yeah, my only advice is stay close to your family, friends, and community if you can. It’s pretty clear to me that Democratic Party officials have no real interest in fighting fascism so it really doesn’t make sense to put any hope in them. Luckily you don’t really have to.

    Fascists by their own inflexible nature will eventually force people to fight back in meaningful ways. Any kind of bonds you create with other people can become the basis upon which organized resistance thrives, whatever that may look like. Even though it’s not really organizing, sometimes I think acts as simple as baking cookies for your neighbors does more to prepare for the fight against fascism than voting for a Democrat does. lol

        I’m not telling anyone not to vote but why do you think voting will stop fascists now? It never has in the past. Normal people had to fight and die to stop it.

        Maybe if democrats treated fascism with the seriousness it deserves we would be okay. However, instead of jailing Trump and dismantling his movement, Biden decided to give unlimited support to a fascist government committing a genocide.

        I hope you realize how disingenuous democrats are when they tell you to vote against Trump in 2028 as if the election hasn’t been rigged by that point.

        You really can’t fight fash by voting for fash-lite which is what was offered in 2024.
