"Let’s stop the wishful thinking and face the stark reality: There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States, and it is getting shorter every day.... people believed they could go on pursuing their personal interests and ambitions as usual in the confidence that somewhere down the line, someone or something else, or simply fate, would stop him. Why should they be the ones to sacrifice their careers?"
Not just vote ~ organize & volunteer! To my everlasting regret, in 2016 I put my faith in my vote and warning my friends that this could be "bad" if it went the wrong way. But I didn't put in the shoe leather for the door knocking, or the phone calls or the text banking or the post carding or other things that might have helped turnout in places where it was lower than the prior presidential election.
In #Wisconsin, those small differences, ward-by-ward mattered.

One thing the author of that piece didn't address, what if the election results just don't matter. Trump could call in his thugs and just take the White House all while declaring the election rigged. If he issues an executive order invoking the insurrection act and suspend habeous corpus. If Congress objects he can order Congress to adjourn until after the "unrest".

I think the plan is something like that.
Every city should be planning to get democracy loving people into the streets.
They don't have to confront 
's thugs.
They do have to be visible
We did this in Houston in 2020 and we're beginning our planning cycle for 2024
Get ready y'all
Coups are stopped by massive, nonviolent demonstrations
If you're thinking of sitting out the election because Biden is too old or failed to accomplish 100% of your agenda, then you'd better start researching asylum policies in various countries. Now, before an executive order criminalizes such searches and freezes assets of people suspected of wishing to flee. Read some stories of North Korean defectors.
Or else just vote, like your life, nation, and children's future depended on it.
