Start at the bottom. Republicans are.
County officials, boards, planning communities, public private engagement councils, minor political offices. Maga types are weaseling into all of that.
It adds up and builds momentum.
Exactly. Last November, there were two candidates running for the board of a local school, not even the district itself, more like a local education center. It’s a nonpartisan position but there’s no such thing as an apolitical elected office, so I did my research. One was a garden variety conservative, so she sucked, the other was a Mom For Liberty, so, you know. I had no choice, I ended up leaving that part of the ballot blank because there was nobody else trying for the job, and now some petty fascist is directly affecting policies at this one education center. It may not be much, but it’s a start, and brain worms spread quickly.
Wanna make change happen? Fucking do it then instead of complaining and expecting there to be a viable candidate at the top when there are none at the bottom.
