The more you appease and delay, the stronger the fascist gets and the harder it will be to get rid of fascism.

It is better it comes to a head sooner than later.

Barring a mass movement on the streets SOON , we are on the way to fascism.

I am afraid Trump popularity is still very high and no mass movement is on the horizon. The only one who is even trying to engineer something is old Bernie Sanders. It needed to be someone else although I applaud his courage

It is disappointing there is no other activity. Dems think it is about legislation. Also, complete silence by former Presidents, Vice Presidents, First and Second ladies is deafening Sports figures are going along as normal. Movie industry was more active pushing out Biden than pushing out fascism.
