I agree, but if we let this sentiment bleed over and begin infighting with our allies and accomplices we weaken the coalition we need to fix this. Don't let them blunt your ability to organize. Fascism thrives when we self-isolate and drive ourselves and each other apart
Too late. We do that to ourselves every election.
Meanwhile, our enemies have no problem voting in unison.
I believe that it's vanishingly rare for it to be "too late" for anyone to change their behavior, on an individual level. If we can recognize the challenge, we can amend our approach and work to bring others into the fold. I'm still grieving as well, but defeatism will only strengthen their position by weakening ours.
