"Trumpism will not be defeated by politicians inside the DC beltway. It will only be defeated by millions of Americans, in every state in this country, coming together in a strong, grassroots movement which says no to oligarchy, no to authoritarianism, no to kleptocracy, no to massive cuts in programs that working people desperately need, no to huge tax breaks for the richest people in our country."

I'm looking for reasons to be optimistic and coming up short; but if democracy really did survive, overcome, and adapt to fascism's latest iteration, what a glorious start to a new chapter of our history that would be. I hope we live in that time line. Democracy winning would inspire in me a hope for the future that I have not believed in for decades.
