Now this is a conversation worth having, fantastic point fully ceded.

I wish I knew a way to get large numbers of people organised in a way they could trust, other than telling them to vaguely "get involved in local politics".

Politically speaking, there is no way that the 2026 midterms aren't going to be an absolute landslide for the Democrats. At that point the strategic situation will be very different. Either it will be a hell of a lot harder for Trump to escalate, or we will have confirmation that political solutions are no longer possible. Either way, I think now is a time to be preparing. Beyond that, I don't have a whole lot to offer.
