No, you don’t get it.

The terror is how resistance is built, it is organizing during it that is effective here. It is built as more and more people are either directly affected, know friends and family or who are affected, or and this is the important one, fear that they will be affected by these right wing terror gangs. Those are the people that are susceptible to recruitment and your message. It’s how people like Mamdani are able to usurp traditional democratic messaging. Mamdani doesn’t happen if Trump is not in office.

When the Democrats are in charge, your rights are stripped away and the fascist gangs are just as empowered and the libs think everything is fine and that leftists are just paranoid (until of course election season where they become hyperbolic shrieks). You can only recruit from the directly affected, as the family and friends think the Democrats will help them, and there is no fear of the Republicans because the Democrats always think that they have everything under control and that they can’t possibly lose the next election, and nobody reports on the violations even though they were still already happening.

You do not build strength, you suffer de-radicalization and demobilization of the left. It’s why their strategy works so well, because people fundementally misunderstand what radicalizes people. It is not ideological potential, but actual material reality.

But we are going to talk past each other again here, as we do every time during this conversation. And you will claim victory because the reporting follows your narrative, but I am telling you, the land has never been more fertile here for the left. How this energy will eventually be applied is anybodies guess, but this organization shit was dead in the fucking water under Biden.
