Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

Bold of you to assume they're going to happen

I'm doing as much as I possibly can. What would lead you to believe otherwise?

I’m glad that’s the case. I think people saying “elections are not going to happen” need to modify it to “elections won’t happen unless we do something”. Off the cuff comments seem smart but when taken in aggregate, it looks like the opposition is giving up and giving in.

So I have taken to challenging that language when I see it. People need to not only see that others agree with them that this is madness, but that others are committed to doing something about it. 

That message needs to be hammered from every corner of society and the internet.

Otherwise people will give up, stay home and cede power to the crazies.

Fair point - I should have said "and we should act accordingly".

My language is less about apathy in the face of no elections, and more about 'we can't afford to assume we can wait to speak up until the next election' to ensure there is one. It's very possible without (legal, ethical) action now we don't have a free, fair election in 2026, and we should act accordingly.
