Ever wondered what you would have done during the rise of Fascism?

You’re doing it right now.

I'm going to repost this here because I still have it in my clipboard:

The events from 1933 to 1945 should have been combated by 1928 at the latest. Later it was too late. We must not wait until the fight for freedom is called treason. We must not wait until the snowball has turned into an avalanche. The rolling snowball must be crushed. No one can stop the avalanche. It only comes to rest when it has buried everything beneath it.
Erich Kästner, 1958

This feels a little defeatist. Oh no, it's too far along we should have stopped it years ago.

Never stop until fascism is stopped, no matter how hard it may become.

I see this all over the internet and in real life too. People don't engage, they just watch and comment. "Too bad we couldn't stop this", then they make memes about guillotines, but in reality nothing happens, as long as there is still food and a screen in front of them. Same with climate change. We went from "This isn't a big deal" to "Our species is fucked" in like 5 years. We fingerpoint, blame and don't change a single habit ourselves.

Yes, we maybe could have stopped the snowball in 2020, but decided to nominate useless AG and assign a lacky judge to try Trump for his crimes.

We really also blew it when we didn’t push through Obama’s Supreme Court justice, and then allowed Trump to push his through even later in his term.

As a life long Democrat voter, it pains me to say it’s the Democrats’ fault. Bernie and AOC need to take over the party and go hide in exile until this collapse can be rebuilt. Bernie probably won’t see a rebuild the way things are going.
