Once again I am going to ask you to invade lib spaces and remind them that the Dems cannot save them. Give marginalised people the tools to protect themselves and their community from harm.
Show them that they do not have to rely on the Democrats, and that they shouldn’t because the Dems don’t care enough to fight for them. Direct them to organisations that can help them.
Let this be your chance to build a community, there are a lot of vulnerable people feeling lost right now.
EDIT: Only if you can, of course. Please don’t burn yourself out or put yourself in harm’s way.
After several rounds of trying to radicalize the democrats in my life, watching them revert back to their bullshit the second something bad happens — I can’t fucking do it anymore. I got my Mom and frankly that’s all I care about.
I’m not saying people shouldn’t try, I would never say that, but check out if you’re gonna loose yourself.
At this moment, it’s probably easier to get them to agree to actions than to shift their worldview. As the dust settles, their viewpoints will become more malleable, especially if you’re already keeping them in the loop through any actions you get them involved in now. Right now, the cognitive dissonance reached a sudden critical mass which is triggering the fight or flight response. Not great for rational thought, but we can start to hone where the fighting is directed. Keep at it ❤️
Yeah, you gotta keep your sanity. I’m not going to blame your for that. Stay safe.
