The fuck do you mean hold the line? No one is holding the line. It's being pushed back further and further every day and hardly anyone is doing anything, let alone "holding the line".
Of course people are giving up, no one is doing anything.
The time to do something was November 5th, 2024 and the months preceding in GOTV. The current time is to reach out to every friend, acquaintance, co-worker, or maga person you know in your actual community and get offline. The next time to do something is voting for better Democratic candidates in the primaries. Throughout will be more No Kings protests which at every interval has helped chip away Trump's support. The next time will be the midterms where the first real power can be taken back.
Don't be stupid. Be smart. This incident, tragic though it is, is beneficial to the opposition the way CK was to them.
Do NOT give them a Reichstag fire excuse they're trying so hard to bait out. Even the Minneapolis Mayor said this.
And if you criticize this shit, then I am ALL. Fucking. Ears on what your better alternative is, and why you're going to lead it by example.
