Who is “we”?

I have only one official act I can do to “react” to P2025, and that’s vote for anyone opposed to theofascism in the US. Am I, personally, suitably horrified at what the theofascists want to do to what remains of democracy in this country? Absolutely.

But other than civil disobedience or outright revolt, that’s all most of us can do to react to Project 2025.

Posting online and raising awareness in general can be helpful for movements. Which is exactly why conservatives get so upset about SJW - online campaigns work.

If we stopped donating to specific campaigns and started donating to organizations that are lobbying against voter suppression we could all do much more than our single vote allows

We don’t have money to donate.

strikes are a thing, civil disobedience is a thing.
