What gives me hope are the normal people trying to save things. People running for school board against moms for liberty freaks, college kids protesting, local newsrooms investigating corruption etc. They inspire but also make me pissed off at the powerful people/institutions that won’t defend them

I'm reassured at the idea that the US is fucking *huge* and any attempt to corral the entirety of it under one repressive ideology is almost certainly doomed to failure

College kids trying to stop innocent people from dying as their college president puts snipers on the roof to watch over non-violent protests, a reporter getting sued as Maureen Dowd plops out another editorial comparing Bill Maher to James Dean. Just a ruling class that does not give a shit.

Exactly this. Just the slightest hint of principle from even a few more powerful people would go incredibly far.

It’s a very little thing but the bench is so much stronger and more diverse and creative than it was during the Obama years. There genuinely is energy down ballot in a lot of places

It's why I've become a firm believer in the need for a more violent left. Trump's second term is guaranteed to involve the religious right going hogwild on their most absurd and unpopular theocratic nonsense but they will get away with it because their opponents won't be willing to escalate enough.
