It becomes more apparent each day that traditional political efforts won’t work against the MAGA dictatorship. It owns the congress, the courts, the presidency, and is working on the military and the media. There is no way that those in power will permit another election in a form consistent with Democracy. The January 6 thugs have formed a fledgling “brownshirt squad” and are actively recruiting members.
What is left? Perhaps what Karl von Clausewitz called “friction.”
In Clausewitz's "On War", friction is defined as “the obstacles and
difficulties that arise in war, making it more complex and challenging than a
simple plan on paper. It's the force that makes "the apparently easy so
difficult".
In other words, slow them down, make each step more difficult
than the last, and wear them out.
How?
Let us put our heads together. What has worked so far? The efforts of brave lawyers for one thing. Even though they face a 6-3 negative majority in SCOTUS in significant cases, the efforts of getting cases there must be taking a toll. Also, there is the possibility that one or more of the MAGA judges will have what I call a “Thomas Beckett Moment” and shift to the side of righteousness. Our contributions will help.
Let us think more on this strategy. Comments?
