Thank you Samuel for raising the alarm and suggesting solutions.
Here are my own 3 steps to defeating Trumpism:
1. On the macro scale, we need a Leader who can be the rallying point for the widespread but unconsolidated anti-Trump anti-MAGA sentiment. Right now Gavin Newsom is playing that role, standing up to Trump.
2. We also need to end the internal squabbles and purity tests that created the opening for Trump. If Dems are caught in a moderate vs progressive split, then Trumpism will win again. We need to be consolidated and unified.
3. Finally, individually, we each need to raise our voices, using platforms like Substack.
Here's a sample of my own humble attempt to defeat Trumpism.
Clearly, American democracy is under siege, and Trumpism has some Trump cards like gerrymandering that give them an edge, but MAGA has power disproportionate to their numbers. The only way to defeat Trumpism is to get our act together, unified and consolidated under one leader, and then everyone get to work on a full court press.
A corrupt Supreme Court makes a return to democracy difficult.
This sounds great, but who is our modern day Roosevelt ???
Who can step up, command the kind of respect, and demonstrate the
amount of clout necessary to actually get the ball rolling ???
We need this person, or persons, to come to the fore now !!!
it's getting late .....
Exactly--where is OUR Roosevelt??
