I remain deeply concerned that elected officials are neither poised nor prepared for the challenges of this moment. The fact that there isn’t more open talk of defeating fascism & authoritarianism in America does not instill confidence in me about November or the aftermath.
Based on what I’ve seen so far— even going back as far as the 2000 election—if Trump refuses to leave office, I’m not convinced that Biden or the Democrats will mount much of an opposition. I really think folks are underestimating the precariousness of this situation.
Like, we need actual anti-fascist resistance leaders right now. I’m not seeing that represented in what Biden or the Democrats are doing. I’m just saying be prepared to be abandoned by them in November & the aftermath because not preparing for that scenario is dangerously unwise.
