"So how will good Democrats and other sane people create a workable information infrastructure, flip the narrative, and convince enough of their fellow citizens to vote for politicians and policies grounded in reality before it's too late to save what's left of our dying democracy ...and the world?"

Ans. I'm gonna zap 'em with my Jewish space laser.
Alternatively, as I said yesterday, Aristotle said that the 6th act of tragedy is comedy. Reminds me of existentialism. Comedy of the absurd.
Some pundits expect he will be martyred to the benefit of Vance the Terrible. "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown"
I doubt that the Dems will have to do much, if anything, to upend Trumpism. Like all fascist movements, they cannot, nor do they want, to govern. Voters will continue to be reminded what the federal government used to do for them as the economy slides into recession due to tariffs and lack of business guardrails. They will also start to miss the luxury of a hands-off government in which most decisions in life used to be personal. In 4 years, voters will want their freedom and standard of living back.
The big fight is coming to decide how much the USA will be like Hungary. Checks and balances? Political guardrails? They are composed of people. Trump is preparing to drive tank-tracked over democratic norms. As a starter, Trump will almost certainly pressure the Senate Republicans to remove the automatic filibuster and any other Senate rules that might slow the Trumpian juggernaut.

I think we're fucked. I hope I'm wrong.

“No one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”
It wouldn't hurt to give the public a big shove in the right direction.
