please know this in your bones:

the authoritarian success of Musk, Trump, Project 2025, this administration & MAGA GOP is not a forgone conclusion. like all things, it depends on certain conditions coming together & like all things that are impermanent, what comes together can also come apart.

the fatal flaw of fascism, though it can work, is that in lieu of strength the fascist works to flood the zone & overwhelm the populous, so that they feel powerless. in truth it is the fascist leader who is truly powerless or else they would not need to take such actions. the only power they have is the power that others give them.

remember, Trump is not good at being president, he lost the popular vote, the first time around in 2016 & only won the electoral college. he inherited a strong economy and then plunged us into a poor economy through a combination of large tax breaks for the rich & corporate along with a failed response to the pandemic (though i would argue he can’t be blamed entirely, because of the worldwide implications of a pandemic & the failure of economies worldwide). he lost his second run for the presidency. now in his third, he won the electoral college vote, & only won the popular vote by less votes than Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. think about that! he likely would have lost if more people had voted, rather than stay home.

there are more people who do not want him in office & who do not approve of him then there are people who do.

come together, resource, build community, don’t obey advance, stand firm, solid, resisting cruelty & harm. 

center in love, empathy, equity, & justice – the very traits that are absent in his & Musk’s character & the administration.
