So...what exactly is the plan? [View all]

I hardly ever post, but I just can’t get something out of my mind and haven’t been able to do so for several weeks now. I have asked people around me this same question and I’m always met with the same kind of reponse—some version of “I hadn’t thought of that, but what IS being done?”

We were told that if we lost the election, it would likely be the end of American democracy.

This was not an election that was going to decide where we draw the line for tax policy, education subsidies, or some farm bill. No, we were told this was, quite plainly, likely the last election we would see in America if we lost.

We were told our institutions, norms, and entire jurisprudential history were at stake, and if we lost we would lose it forever.

In short, we were told that the question on the ballot this year was an existential one. Would we survive or would we perish? We were told if we lost that surely we will perish.

Well, we lost.

And what is being done about it now? What exactly is the plan of action?

The very same people in elected positions of power who told us all of those things will show up at the inauguration and applaud when he takes the oath and then they will go to a luncheon, and then they will go send out fundraising emails.

The very same people in powerful media postions who told us all of those things will cover the inauguration and will continue to repeat those things over and over again. They will get their clicks and their views.

What is the plan? What are we supposed to be doing and who are we supposed to be following as our country teeters on the edge of complete destruction? (Or so we were told.)

This guy is a dangerous lunatic. A lot like Bush jr, a lot like MORE like Nixon. But that’s probably as bad as it’ll get. And it can be opposed through the normal channels of politics and the courts just like it was for those two previous dangerous, corrupt presidents. And if I’m wrong, if it’s really not opposable via those normal methods, then why the hell isn’t anybody doing ANYTHING differently?

AS USUAL, IT’S ALL ABOUT FUNDRAISING, IT’S ALL ABOUT VIEWS AND CLICKS.
