I think fighting against fascism — or any evil of the kind we are confronting — requires a clarity of thought about the state of the world. We need to understand what is and isn't likely to happen. If we are deluded, we lose. If we know what's what, we can plan accordingly and win. Simple as that.
Worth noting, because the comparison has been made, that there remain exactly zero NATO combat troops defending Ukraine from Russia given the risks of a direct confrontation. To believe they'd have one with the US for territory another administration might simply give back — this is online thought.

it's wild that the only thing standing between us and authoritarian state media is that this weird assortment of nepobabies and trust fund brunchlords may be too incompetent to pull it off
not like they're seeing any real resistance from Democrats, who are strangers to useful media reform policies

If you're grasping for anything to feel good about right now - and that's a very difficult thing to find - feel good about the fact that not everyone is as much of a spineless, collaborating coward as our elites. Total strangers will risk their lives to stand next to you.
