Don’t think people understand (or maybe they do which is even worse) that it’s going to take a nationwide strike, at a minimum, to save democracy.

I don’t think most of the general public understand. There’s still positive sentiment out there for what’s being done as I look at my neighbor flying a brand new Trump flag. What has given me less hope is seeing major universities kowtowing

They understand. They’re cowards, hoping someone or something else will keep them free. Like most issues, delaying the acknowledgement of the reality is only making the problem more difficult to solve in the long run. In the end, we may very well choose to be subjugated rather than struggle.

That cowardice is being leveraged to defeat us in detail, as the “first they came for” poem spelled out. The country was founded, right or wrong, that one who allowed himself to be enslaved did not deserve freedom, a sentiment that goes back at least to the Romans. That’s why there’s no guard rail.

The “don’t tread on me” actually wanted to be tread on

Well, are willing to be tread upon as long as there’s someone beneath them that they can tread on themselves. That’s sort of the key. They see crabs in a bucket as a paradigm and not a warning.
