Our rights being stripped, leading to fascism, is so much more important than many of the issues covered daily in the news. As you said- there needs to be a united and effective way for the dems to respond. To say that something is not legal per the constitution or that the rule of law is being ignored is not effective. We need to bring it down to outcomes. The people have forgotten their history lessons (some are choosing to ignore them) so the argument needs to speak to them about why they are important in a way that resonates with the people. And now the president is taking our eye off the rights being eroded by talking about tariff deals which are now in the works and lowering the cost of prescriptions. He's now saying things that we all want (whether they happen is another issue). All the while he and his minions are setting us up for an autocracy. The dems need to focus on our rights and have effective action plans with a strategy and communication method that will bring the points home. There will always be those we will never reach, but there's enough of us to stand up and force change. Groups uniting together (like some higher ed institutions and law firms have done) in all areas needs to increase.
