Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him.
He's not all powerful.
A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it.
Remember this.

Are we still doing the "this is not who we are" spiel, or have we finally acknowledged this is exactly who we are until we do something about it?

If a candidate tells you what would happen if the other nominee is elected - and it happens just like she said - by definition you cannot say she ran a bad campaign.
She ran on the truth.
And folks should ask themselves why the truth was not enough for them.

Yes, this. However, saying in the past tense implies history is over and it's not. So we need left wing solidarity. We need lefties to be involved in elections. We need lefties to understand propaganda. We need a DNC that prefers democratic socialism to fascism.
We get these by doing these.

Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm.
We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
