We’ve had it too easy. We couldn’t believe we could succumb to authoritarianism. We thought we were too special. We thought we could live our normie lives in peace and the buffoons, racists and dictator-enamored greedy bastards would self-immolate from their hate. That’s how it works in movies after all.
Well now we fight. I will not let the our flawed democracy fail. At its best, this country is not perfect but it has the potential and the means to be better. If Trump is the nadir of American history maybe his dystopian vision will be the wake up call we need.
must continue to resist and stand on the side of democracy.
“ Stay united. Stay informed. Stay in the fight. Democracy isn’t something we inherit—it’s something we earn, over and over again. I’m here for that fight. I hope you are too”
I will fight, and hope a majority of us will continue the fight to save democracy?
“Stay united. Stay informed. Stay in the fight. Democracy isn’t something we inherit—it’s something we earn, over and over again. I’m here for that fight. I hope you are too!”
😞truly frightening. I'm sad that hardship is what it will take for some to open their eyes. I am angry that their blindness will have me & mine suffering along with them!
Recalling that he wanted to nuke a hurricane, shoot down balloons and drones over peoples' heads, withhold medical treatment and supplies and shoot people on the street, we should all be ready to fight.
Thank you Olga. A letter from someone who has been through this already is a valuable piece for those who don’t know. I’ll be sharing it, get the word out to help those who are terrified or giving up already.
Absolutely not! My grand fathers did not fight in WWII for this. My father didn’t send 22 yrs in the RAF for this, but he was radicalized into Trump theory before he died. He was an immigrant to Spain but wanted Trump to own Scotland. Stupid man was a racist, bigot, and misogynist. I don’t miss him.
Thank you, Olga. You are a voice of wisdom, exact opposite of the Yarvin RAGE and Polymarket gaming. You do not need to enrage or try to enrage your readers and peers to get your words and wisdom across. It is refreshing.
Thank you. This is one of those times where we’re terrified and no one can tell us it’s going to be okay. We’re about to enter into a macro-abusive relationship and we will be victim blamed. I just don’t know how to brace for it. There’s no knowing.
Thank you for your unflagging faith that the US democratic experiment will survive. Many of us are trying to find the niche where we can be a part of that survival. Your facts and analysis are so important, please keep on keeping on.

This letter really hit a nerve for me, we

I went to the People’s March today in Boston, thinking this might be the last safe protest in a while. Thank you for your important letter, Olga.
We resist! 👊

8 years ago, Dumpy was just happy with power and money, this time it will get much darker.

We can never give up!

We will stay in the fight, and so many of us feel the same way, as well.
Thank you, for everything you do.

At least we have numbers. We’d best use them.

I am so IN
Great letter, thank you
