One word to break the fascist fever. One word to deflate the power Trump and his cronies think they have.
I’ve seen a lot of ink spilled recently over the Harris campaign’s recent adoption of the tactic of calling Trump and his cronies “weird”. There’s a lot of hand-wringing over the Democrats ceding the high ground or being unserious about serious matters, but this article, and especially the source material it links to by Sdrja Popovic (a non-violent Serbian revolutionary during the Milošević regime) about the power of humor in non-violent movements, really changed my thinking on this.

This is a good read. Thanks for sharing
Thanks! I almost skipped it when I saw it pop up this morning, because I’ve seen so many articles about this topic, but I’m glad I didn’t.
