(34,997 posts)and inability of those in authority to have a target. If we start a party and put someone in charge of it, that is just a target for Trump. He'd love to have an American version of Alexei Navalny to literally kill and hold up as an example.
There will be protests in the streets when things get worse, that will happen. But the democratic party itself is fine in that it exists, it has a history, and it is a blank slate right now. No one is really the leader. Kamala, Clintons, Bidens, Obamas - no one person is seen as the de facto leader. That's just as well right now. Let's focus on getting ready for midterms, documenting what Trump is doing so we can appeal against it, and there has got to be some way to challenge him at the polls as well (I think he and Elon are cheating somehow - more of that needs to be looked at).
Just an opinion, and I value your post in that you sense the seriousness of what has happened the past few days. Some folks are still wearing rose-colored glasses in here, and I applaud you for thinking out of the box in terms of what we can do.
