Something that I think we can all agree on is that the current generation of Democratic leadership is simply not optimized for the Attention Age. Not really their fault! And honestly, they may be better people for it, but it's a pretty pressing political problem.

If you say “nothing is going to stop them” you have already given up and given them more power than they yet have. I strongly encourage people not to be fatalistic and to make sure that we are prepared to push back against blatantly illegal actions.
Don’t give up before he’s even in office.

Perhaps the most frustrating part of another Trump administration are the people who still insist this. It’s all the same: “Trump can’t do that” or “no one is going to let them do this”.
I don’t know how to say it any clearer: They 👏 don’t 👏 care 👏
