Heidi Li FeldmanWhile I’m pleased that some news editors and headline writers are correctly characterizing Trump as a dangerous fascist and would-be authoritarian, I’m also aware that these same publications will again minimize his dangerousness. The pressures to normalize him will grow as he comes closer to being, and then almost certainly becomes, the Republican Party nominee.
Tiffany Li@heidilifeldman I’m very worried about 2024
Tim Chambers@tchambers @tiffanycli It is only rational to be concerned, worried, even afraid. But must not let those feelings paralyze us. We have to use them to spur us to action. In addition to @indivisibleteam, I recommend getting involved with one or both of these organizations.
Swing Left https://swingleft.org
Sister District https://sisterdistrict.com/
They have records of success and provide a way to take manageable actions regularly.

Sister District https://sisterdistrict.com/

@tchambers @tiffanycli I realize that both of you are probably already aware of Swing Left and Sister District. I noted them and provided links so that we can get info about them into circulation here on #Mastodon.
@heidilifeldman @tiffanycli Am a fan of both!
Pamela Barroway – Biz Editor@heidilifeldman @tchambers @tiffanycli I have volunteered with ALL these organizations in one form or another since 2017, and I guarantee I’m going to be using my mad postcarding and texting skills in 2024 bc YIKES. Thanks for sharing links in one place — I gladly boosted your post. #GOTV #VoteBlue
@heidilifeldman @tchambers Thanks! Shared!

I'm in PA and, in addition to leading my local Indivisible group, work extensively with Turn PA Blue.
They've been instrumental in retaking the PA House, retaking multiple school boards last Tuesday, and definitely contributed to the sweep of state courts races.

Nicole ParsonsRepublican billionaire donors are funding an end to American democracy.
Some of those donors include several Russian oligarchs and UAE & Saudi despots.

I'm not quite so worried.
Trump’s tendency, along with #FoxPropaganda and the rest of the regressive-right echo chamber, is to keep ratcheting up the rhetoric to keep their audience riled up.
There will be plenty of new and more outrageous fascist blatherings for the for-profit media to react to with proper perspective.

+1 Pointing out Trump's unprecedented abuse of power.
-1 "dangerousness". The word you're looking for is "danger",
I actually believe the best way to reduce Republican votes is to let #Trump be the nominee, because swing voters will see that he is so bad.
Hmm, although, come to think of it, he'll just lie about things so he seems good, till it's too late. "Good thing I contained the COVID the Biden spread!"
