Engendering hope is NOT a passive effort. This writer actively attempts to reach readers with the message that all is not lost, that there does seem to be a line that's holding, a distant line that could be difficult for everyone to perceive given their distance from it, and that message may inspire hope in those readers.
Inspiring hope is an incredible act of courage and fortitude, a way to unite and ignite those who are in the proverbial trenches and who may not yet be able to perceive the horizon. Hope is an active choice we can all make and maintain, an act of personal will which signals the validity of positive outcomes.
This narrative suggests that Trump is dismantling democracy brick by brick, seemingly immune to the checks and balances that once constrained the executive branch.
The reality on the ground tells a radically different story. When stripped of the bluster, the tweets, and the rally speeches, the Trump administration is not a conquering army but a disorganized band of loyalists retreating under fire.
AND WE'LL GET THERE FASTER IF WE DON'T FORGET THIS!
LOL. Did you blink as your champions of "Democracy" trampled you at protest, stole your money through confiscation, killed your citizens with archaic Covid policies, and euthanasia? Yeah, looking great.
This is the first piece of genuine hope I've seen delivered in a year. Thank you for writing and posting this.
It's better than hope. Hope is passive. This is active!

I agree. I just meant that hope isn’t as active. We must hope.
Trump’s administration is a bunch of lunatic power mongers!! The incompetence and cruelty are a terrible. Stephen Miller is an evil, evil, sadist.

Don’t say he chickens out he will do something catastrophic!
This is the part the “inevitable strongman” narrative always skips: authoritarians are brave right up until someone with real authority says “no.”
Turns out the administration’s toughest muscle is bluster, and its greatest fear is a judge with a calendar and a spine.

Very appropriate name you have.
