I'm starting to think that we're bringing knives to a Kaiju fight. Even if we somehow scrape through the next four years and recover the republic (spoiler alert, we've already lost the republic, it's just a question of Trump being bold enough to go far as even as decided to do and look more like), the people who got him this far, wrote project 2025, and financed and boosted his campaign will still be there, learning from the mistakes they made this time and eager to try again. That was the mistake we made last time, thinking that when we beat Trump on '20, he and his movement and wealthy/powerful supporters would simply vanish in a puff of smoke. Now we know better.
What we'll also still have is a weak-kneed, noodle-spined, and sponge-for-brains democratic party that's eager to virtue signal left talking points but fights actual left policies and politicians harder than it fights the republicans. Even now, as we're trying to recover the republic, the DNC is working full tilt to fight anyone trying to make them into an actual opposition party with actual opposition policies. Never forget that the democrats joined the republicans to censure Al Green, the one man who actually did any kind of protest with a backbone at Trump's not-a-state-of-the-union. We're not going to be able to keep the republic from these monsters with gatekeepers who are too busy with honoring intra-party seniority, rites, and traditions and shooting anyone who actually tries to make any meaningful action to fight the monsters. Being the only alternative can't be good enough anymore, we need more people to do whatever they think is right (get into politics yourself, harass your elected officials, start a new party, I don't give a shit as long as the answer isn't do nothing) to force the democrats to get their shit together or else relegate them to the dustbin of history.
