Saving democracy comes from action and resistance. For example the citizens in the very first democracy in Athens were rallied to resist the approaching Persian fleet with a single word: “victory!”
The Athenian army vastly outnumbered at the battle of marathon overcame the odds and won. But the war wasn’t over and the remaining Persian fleet was sailing to lightly defended Athens. Pheillipides out ran the Persian fleet in the first marathon run of 26.5 miles and delivered the one word citizens want to hear.
Nike, the Greek word for victory and running shoe company, has a longer slogan: “Just do it.” Get out and vote. March if you can’t run. Democracy is worth standing up and resisting tyranny.
Write letters and emails to you newspapers, local and national, post on social media, write to TV stations. Tell then they need to stop reporting on polls, money and Trump's court cases, they need to point out what voting for the Republicans vs. the Democrats will mean for individuals, cities, states, and the world. Not just the loss of democracy, but Social Security, national security, internal security with fascist government police force, loss of healthcare, more guns everywhere, loss of trading with our current allies and new relationships with Russia instead. People need to know what they are voting for and against. We certainly can't expect any help for the courts.
