Summary
It’s time to reengage with politics as Trump prepares to take office again.
Unlike 2017, Trump now has a more compliant establishment, streamlined strategies, and influential allies like Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos.

Convincing other people to align with the foundations of a new system is using the soap box. Unless that new system is wholly undemocratic, the ballot box comes next. The jury box must follow unless the new system is an authoritarian one.
You’ve got to build something at all first to bother to even convince other people to align with it.
We’re really on the same page, just looking at it differently. I think there’s room for both opinions on this.
