A REMINDER from something I read in 2018
From a book entitled "How Democracies Die"..."Levitsky and Ziblatt write: “Mobilizing the vote in 2018 and 2020 is essential.
But there is something else that ordinary Americans must do: Try to build broader coalitions in defense of democracy. To ensure democracy’s survival, we must build alliances that extend beyond traditional party lines.

For liberals, this means forging perhaps uncomfortable alliances — with right-of-center businesspeople, evangelical Christians, and dissident conservatives, among others.
A blue-state coalition is simply not enough.
This is often hard work, and it involves compromise.
But an awful lot is at stake.”"
