Group think and tribalism is very powerful. I used to be a Trump supporter and I remember thinking about how women were more likely to vote for progressive candidates with the conclusion that perhaps they shouldn't be doing that. I now very deeply regret being part of that and I'm so grateful I broke free of all that nonsense. Monkey see, monkey do is very true. That's why it's important that our leaders demonstrate good behavior and set a good example for everyone.
He could try assembling an emergency team and also pressure Republicans and tell them what's at stake. They could hold a special meeting.
That's a good start. I would recommend also trying to form groups to pressure companies to no longer donate to republicans. Also work to get people away from misinformation platforms such as X and Fox News. I'm not in the EU but if you know anyone in there they could help with this petition: https://ban-x-in.eu/
This is a very important article. When talking to someone on the other side first find common ground. When having a conversation with someone both you and the other person must listen to and respect each other. Finding common ground before talking about your differences can be a great way to help achieve that.
Biden really needs to step up and do something to protect our country.
Provides information and tips when contacting elected federal officials.
I'm sure everyone knows what's at stake already but just to quickly recap the following might happen when Trump takes office.
- No more free and fair elections.
- Trump may abuse his presidential immunity and order hits on his opponents
- Weaponize the government against political opponents
- Raise food prices and harm the economy
- Create a humanitarian crisis by deporting so many people
- His appointees such as Tulsi Gabbard may give our secrets to Russia.
And so much more
Yet it seems like top Democrats in office are hardly doing anything about this. I feel they have abandoned us and gave up. My list isn't even everything that could happen yet with all those bad things I'm so frustrated they don't realize what's at stake. Please I really beg of you to contact anyone you can and urge them to realize what's at stake here.

Sorry it's a few days late, I just saw this and thought it was really interesting.
The concerns are true but if people leave Twitter for Bluesky it's still an improvement because Elon uses the algorithm to boost far-right content and he has your data.
The United States and its allies disrupted a Russian bot farm that used AI to spread propaganda. With this, Russia has officially made one dystopian prediction about AI come true: it used it to lie better, faster, and more believably.
Yes, it's better to move forward a little than to go backwards. When you move forward you can keep moving forward more later. If you move backwards you have to fight for what you lost before you can get more back.
I feel this is really the most important answer here. We must break the false narratives that they use to hold power.
Yes, if that many people would do that it could make a huge difference
I kind of see your point there. My hope though is that maybe people could gain more empathy for each other by understanding that we are all human and I hope that one day people can understand each other's struggles.
Yes, this makes sense! Hopefully while doing so one could build a coalition that includes more and more people.
TIL in 1933 the Wall Street Journal had a headline which read "Berlin Views Hitler Calmly: Rise in stocks reflects confidence he will not disrupt nation's affairs"
Events always seem more obvious and predictable after they have already taken place.
Here's a copy and paste from the 1933 article:
Rise in Stocks Reflects Confidence He Will Not Disrupt Nation's Affairs
Berlin is settling down to pass judgment on political developments. Politicians, economists and bankers declare there is usually wide discrepancy between the speeches of opposition politicians and the actions of the group when it gains power.
Consequently, it is not believed that Hitler will accomplish a change in the constitution or that [Reich Minister of Economics Alfred] Hugenberg will bring about a general reduction of interest rates. The government wants to obtain an adjournment of the Reichstag for several months, but it is questionable whether the Centre [Party] will approve of such action.
There are things we can do. Here's a very simple action you can take that will help. Whenever you see Russian propaganda that violates the rules of whatever social media platform you are using click the report button. It takes just a few seconds of your time and if you are lucky it will get taken down.
Another thing you can do is education. Tell anyone who is reasonable and will listen about what's going on.
We are a lot more alike than we are different
Most people just want a good life. If we stopped seeing each other as the enemies the world could be better.
We must do everything we can to stop this. Please try contacting three of your friends who you think will listen but don't know what's going on and let them know. Kremlin propaganda is trying to get us to fight each other and undermine the US. So far it's been working but we have the power to stop it.
