As much as we are morally obligated to fight against this, we also need something to fight for. And I'm just guessing, but I don't think we can do much of practical value without the assistance of some within positions of high power. Minus this, we are nothing more than the supporting caste of the very theater we oppose.

You’re missing this. I have been advocating for people who want to save democracy to focus on running for school boards on a save democracy platform. That way we keep the light of democracy shining. We can turn our schools into the foundation of democracy they were supposed to be but haven’t been for decades now. They are why we have so many people who thought a criminal was a good idea. Check out WhiteChalkCrime.com and learn what boards have been rubber stamping for decades when you could have controlled a board and saved us from Trump. That is something we can fix.

Boards are local. The evil ones are trying to end public schools so people like us have no power. Charter schools are a way around boards. They know if they don’t control the boards we hold power. You don’t need to have a child in your district to run. Run in groups. Overwhelm them while teaching voters why they must vote for you. Spend your energy on this not on his appointees. The crooks who’ve hijacked our schools cleverly got you to not trust teachers. When this nation stopped listening to its teachers it was the beginning of the end of democracy as called to teach teachers are the keepers of democracy and the producers of citizens. Now they’re whistleblowers at WhiteChalkCrime.com and at EndTeacherAbuse.org.
