Speaking as someone living in Hungary, to friends in the #USA:

The greatest weapon the system has is outrage fatigue. Doing so many unimaginable things at the same time that people just sigh and go on. Having so many things to protest that you run out of days and hours. Piling on so you start focusing on surviving with your bare mental health day to day.

Pick your cause and stick to it. Support others who focus on different causes. Don't try to do everything at once.

With five days to go before the election, take the time to listen to my five-part podcast series, Autocracy in America. There are authoritarian tactics already at work in the United States - and we can stop them.

A detailed look at the totally normal and relatable humans whom many of us have been conditioned to be okay with murdering along with their moms in a tent in the courtyard of a hospital, to remind us that people are way more similar to each other than we are different.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” - Carl Sagan on The Great Bamboozle

I was arrested & interrogated in Argentina during the 70's "Dirty War'' in which its president sought to rid the country of "the enemy within" with the help of his military. 30,000 Argentines disappeared. Americans should be terrified at such talk from a presidential candidate.
