I remember folks asking in 2024 “What do we do if Trump wins?!?” and my answer was “The same thing you should be doing if Kamala wins: the same thing you should be doing now.” Which is organizing locally and building outward.

If you have a union, participate in it. If you don’t, get to know your coworkers and normalize talking about what you’d like collectively. Organize your apartment building to get together on the holidays. Know who your city council member is, and your county supervisor. Participate in mutual aid and lobby for laws in your own backyard. Think about not just what you don’t want – Republicans in national office – but what you really, really want: a shorter work week. Guaranteed access to living essentials. And then find the people, both inside government and out who have ideas for how to do this and ask how you can help. And keep doing it through the ups and downs.

Because your despair at Trump’s victory can be just as ephemeral as your joy at Paxton’s defeat if this is just sports. But if we have a purpose and a plan, every step forward or backward is part of a journey in which we can see our progress towards something that matters more than just the latest poll.

Its because people who voted for fascism are upset that fascism is hurting them, personally, instead of hurting just poors, blacks, and immigrants.

Thats all.

This isnt some great revolution of liberal enlightenment amongst the American populace, or the end of right wing extremism, the death knell for white supremacism fueled fascism.

Its nothing more than grocery and gas prices turning trump believers into a temporary vote for the other side, and as soon as that pressures gone they’ll go back to supporting the lowest common denominator and continuing the rocket train to hell.

Even florida had 0.1% difference at one point

Oklahoma is still as stupid as ever, unfortunately
