We have seen voter suppression, redistricting (gerrymandering) and now the electoral college actions from the neo-conservatives. I would recommend to anyone the The Party is Over by Mike Lofgren - I have to believe that book was diaried in the past.
There is a reference that he used from Hannah Arendt - a political philosopher many here may know.
As Hannah Arendt observed, a disciplined minority of totalitarians can use the instruments of democratic government to undermine democracy itself.
And finally:
Undermining Americans’ belief in their own institutions of self-government remains a prime GOP electoral strategy
The activities described are a pattern and strategy - only by opposing the strategy as well as the actions can democracy be preserved.
Many on this forum have described the need for a state by state, district by district strategy - that is the only way to defend against a strategy of using the levers of democracy to defeat democracy. Since our federal government is based and founded on the activity at every congressional district and since the power to define those districts is based at the state level, only by participating and communicating at the state legislative district can democracy be fully protected.
