    Only 1%, for sure. But history is important. Hitler went after the gays before the Jews. He had to gauge how people would react to minor tyranny before going full out.

    Which is to say… we have a lot of work to do these next few years to keep up the pressure.

      You make a very solid point. Externally, I fight for these people, I guess the whole gaza genocide is making me question everything. I stood by so many groups, and now when it was time for us, I saw hate marches in uk, death to arab chants in Amsterdam. But the world is slow, and i think peoples eyes are opening in new ways, not seen before. You’re religious, background of ethcnictt doesn’t matter, the real enemy Is the class conflict with the tiny miniscule amount of humans at the top

      In your eyes, how can we keep the pressure up?

        Calling representatives. Run for local office, including school boards. Be active in the community. Donate and help those in your community.

        And more nefariously…

        Spread confusion and false information on their social media. Call companies who donate to candidates you don’t like and complain, or just waste their time. Don’t pre-comply to rules you think they’ll implement. Be difficult. Be annoying. Slow them down.
