Right now, though most of us have not yet been informed or cottoned-on, we are in an arms race: a battle to save or destroy democracy itself (depending on which side you are on). The opposition (currently fronted by Musk and his minions) see democracy as no longer fit for purpose, and obsolete, and see techno-feudalism as the way forward. Think about that.
We who are pro-democracy are at a distinct disadvantage: we're playing by the rules, while the opposition (Trump, MAGA, Musk, Christian Nationalists, alt-right, techno-feudalist elite) have torn up the rule book. And while it takes an age to formulate a case to take to court against executive orders that ride roughshod over the Constitution and the rule of law, they have their plan worked out using AI in a jiffy, and they're already two or three plans ahead.
And no matter how many thousand followers you have in the social media, you can't post your way out of fascism.

But don't take my word for it, read Mike Brock's magnificent article, “The Plot Against America” which describes at length the bigger picture and lays bare the details of “How a Dangerous Ideology Born From the Libertarian Movement Stands Ready to Seize America” – how we got to this point, and the horrors into which, like it or not, we are heading. Today, it's the US; tomorrow it may well be Europe and the UK. None of our cultures are immune.
And if you've already realised the need for an underground resistance movement to survive the ongoing coup and coming challenges, maybe check out my free eBook, Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt (a story of Resistance).
Stay safe and well, friends!
