15. This is what I've told people for years

Drumpf was a fluke. Most of the fascists work their way up to the system to become governors, representatives and senators that make our lives a living hell. They start on the school board, or the city council, or a county supervisor, then work their way on up. So, along with the harm they do in the short-term by being on the school board and pushing hate, there's also the fact it's a stepping stone to a bigger platform and being able to create more hate.

The secret is to stop them at the bottom. Keep them from getting elected to the school board or the city council. Stop them before they can even step onto the first rung of the latter. Stopping them now prevents them from hurting us now and hurting us down the road when they have a resume and a string of victories.
