What makes this so important is that it socializes the idea among press and policymakers that the Trump-led government is illegitimate, which then serves to normalize the idea that political change independent of elections may be necessary.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

For those on the left who are not socialists, or who do not ally with socialist parties, I don't really understand: what exactly is the project? What is the plan?

A general strike is hard, so people who can afford to should be blacking out the economy as much as possible. ESPECIALLY stop using Amazon forever!
Retired boomers by the millions should announce a complete cessation of Amazon and Whole Foods purchases.

But having the entire media landscape owned by six technofeudalists is much better than tanking the markets?
And doing so would probably tank the markets and cause a depression. But other than that , the rich would be tasty !

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.
