That was incorrect. The Republican party was merely the first institution to accept authoritarianism because it was the first institution Trump targeted.We now see that most institutions are weak in the face of authoritarianism.</a></label><br><a href="https://cdn.masto.host/sciencessocial/media_attachments/files/114/257/504/220/776/040/original/c8180df7148a87fe.png" rel="external">https://cdn.masto.host/sciencessocial/media_attachments/files/114/257/504/220/776/040/original/c8180df7148a87fe.png</a></li><li><label><a rel="external" href="https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/4393558">‘The rough roadmap for how to proceed goes like this:1. Demonstrate popular power in the provinces through large-scale rallies.
2. Use these events to organize the resistance into a mass movement that can be called into action.
3. Direct the mass movement into targeted political strikes: Getting blowout wins in special elections; boycotts of Tesla; etc.
4. Politicize everything: Attack the authoritarians for every bad thing that happens, anywhere in the world. Flood the zone.
5. Elevate the corruption/graft in a way that pits the billionaire insiders against the “forgotten man.”
6. When the moment is right, bring this movement to the Capital for a show of strength.
7. Use this demonstration as a slingshot to take back legislative power in the 2026 elections.
8. More importantly, use it to send a message to the institutional actors that people will have their back if they show courage.</a></label><br><a href="https://cdn.masto.host/sciencessocial/media_attachments/files/114/257/507/849/622/989/original/247067d017bea3c8.png" rel="external">https://cdn.masto.host/sciencessocial/media_attachments/files/114/257/507/849/622/989/original/247067d017bea3c8.png</a></li></ol></footer></blockquote>

"All of our institutions are the Republican party now....
"We must stop viewing political life through the lens of American politics as we have known it, and adopt the viewpoint of dissident movements in autocratic states....The only way to win is people power."
