Democrats Win Three Big Elections During Trump’s State of the Union | The New Republic
The bulwark had a really interesting essayist on yesterday before the state of the union. The thesis was comparing DARE to MADD as political forces and comparing that to the Dems and MAGA.
DARE entered our consciousness to great fanfare with elite support (Reagan etc.)
MADD was chaos but was all about local organization.
Ultimately MADD is still around and effective because of organization and DARE is not.
From the essay
Five Lessons from MAGA | The New Yorker
the painful lesson here is that you need to organize with the outrage. I'm angry about all the things. I need to have someone reach out to me to make me take concrete steps to lash up, not just go do a No Kings rally.
So, look up top at the local election. It appears that momentum favors the Dems but they need to keep it up.
