I'm new to this -me and some of my peers are looking for direction- what is our part in the growing revolution? - our effective participation? We're ready to join protests and the like but we need a more comprehensive plan, and I question whether a team formed with government personnel (Congress and beyond), business and political leaders, and other kindred spirits would be a great step forward --where are our Democrat Billionaires to support us both spiritually and financially? Saving our Democratic Nation is the super-ceding position, as is maintaining our health in general. The two coincide.
By way of introduction, I am a former Sergeant of the USAF who volunteered after protesting the Vietnam War. I am a clinical psychologist with 45 years of experience and most importantly, I am the adult child of Holocaust survivors, therefore I have a unique view of this American moment. I saw it coming when Trump showed his character as he aggressively repeated "You're Fired" on "The Apprentice," then coming down the golden escalator shouting out racist ideation, and all the other moments leading up to the present Republican march to Fascism. Among them are some of my friends, family, and neighbors, who share Trump's MAGA views in spite of hearing and seeing everything I have.
There is always a Mussolini or a Hitler in the crowd, but they are just noise in the wind of free speech - it's my friends, family and American neighbors, who anger and scare me the most because they threaten the freedom of America I have always loved and served, with compassion for all its people. Without the tacit or implicit agreement of the Republican party, none of this could be happening. There is direct aggression and the indirect type, where you can shadow a dark heart by just thinking it and encouraging a disloyal and unpatriotic tyrant to rule us all and to remove us from one of the truly Golden Eras of America-- by weakening and dividing us first.
Dr. Sigmund Freud was initially a neurologist MD focused on what he believed was the ultimately good and self-corrective nature or people-kind. By the end of his life he no longer believed in that dynamic due to the repetition compulsion and more importantly, he saw the Thanatos (dark side) as too powerful to overcome in many people. Although I fully understand, I will never accept that.
So, how about a joining of America's Democrat leaders and others of good heart to produce a comprehensive plan that allows all of us to join in and save or Beloved Nation. I Love America. Tom Moskowitz, Ph.D.
Agree 1000%. The dims have opinions and values but we don’t have a fucking plan. What does dnc Do?
The Rs have had a plan written down since Justice Powell wrote it in 1971. It’s now called Project 2025 more importantly somebody gave Leonard Leo $1.6 billion and so they have an entire infrastructure implementing cruelty.
Tom, except for Sen Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, I would not count on our federally elected Dems to join any serious resistance against the Trump/Musk Regime.
Do you read the daily Letters from an American by Heather Cox Richardson? If you don’t, I strongly recommend you do. She is on Substack. Look up the letters for March 27 and 28- she outlined what we all need to know about their plans. That should help all of us begin to plan for a resistance effort.
At this point, I am at a loss as to what to do to stop them. This is huge, we might need the help of our NATO friends! Seriously!
No one is coming to save us, it is on we, the people. Your list of accomplishments and credentials are impressive. There are many organizations fighting the good fight, many regularly listed in Mr. Hartmann's newsletter. If one does not call too you, consider starting an organization yourself. Authoritarian regimes require our cooperation and consent to succeed. Sitting on the sidelines waiting for someone to devise the perfect plan accomplishes nothing. No one can do everything, but all of us must do something. Start with what you can, where you are, with what you have. Small ripples can create big waves. get out there and make some waves.

I join you in this frustration. It produces a sense of weakness, of powerlessness that I can't tolerate. Best Wishes to a kindred spirit

Thanks for the reply and for directing me to Heather Cox Richardson and will read what you recommended. Best Wishes!
Strength and honor.
Strength and Honor - in the fight ahead!
Read Feathers of Hope and get back to us. Shared government.
Where is this found? Google comes up with a site about first nations empowering youth. Also good but I don't think that is what you meant.
