    Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

    Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.

    Fascism is our One Ring, we can destroy it. Nothing says ideals are immortal. Nothing says fascism is a hydra and can only be abated. It knows that this is its last chance, people are beginning to change their democratic systems to better reflect the majority beliefs. That’s why misinformation is rampant and yet people still produce tech that makes it easier to create and spread. Worldwide, one election at a time, we can all topple fascism this year, but only together.
