also there's a difference between an imperfect coalition and a compromised coalition. you may not be religious, but the organizations closest to you might be religious. it's far better to talk with open minded elca lutherans than close minded patriot front goons about what to do next. understand that there are many kinds of fascist and many kinds of anti-fascist. even the deepest red counties have people who who voted for harris because they have seen firsthand the dangers of christofascism. project 2025 is deeply unpopular and a disturbing number of people still don't realize that voting for trump and against project 2025 was not and is not an available ballot option.
here's the thing: this will never be over. not until the entire world over is free. every rise of authoritarianism has given us stories of heroes who resisted. you can hear their echos all throughout religious stories, songs, and secular media. they all tell us the same things: as long as we make art to pass down to the children, no authoritarian can ever rule forever, not even the ur-farscist, the political strongman who crops up every 80 years to lie to us about how he will free us.
right now, start telling the word truths about itself in places the right wing doesn't know how to reach. writing by hand in a journal, creating poetry, singing songs, writing in the streets with chalk. these are all things you can do while you're still looking for someone to organize with that help pass on the truth of the world to future people.
also, look for marginalized people in your community. they have been living with this terror all along. they know:
in other words: they are veterans of this 10k year long war. they have inherited stories you have never heard, and they still have hope even as things get worse for them.
i believe in you, and i believe in the power of everlasting peace, one where there's room for everyone at the table and everyone gets a plate before anyone gets seconds
