There has never been a peaceful cure for fascism. Handling an infestation of fascism has historically always required force.
I'm not so sure enough normal people are willing to do what's needed to curb this unchecked conservatism.

So what do you think people need to do?

i wish i understood the obsession with replacing cruz.
i get that he's an unlikeable asshole; but i don't get how anyone expects that he can be unseated in a place like texas.

The senate map is tougher for dems this cycle (more seats to defend then Republicans) so any gettable flip matters a lot
Leaked republican internal polling has the race only a point apart. Internals are usually more favorable for your own party too.
Texas has gotten more blue over the years and he only won by 2ish points against Beto. Cruz could certainly lose this time around and that is not something we can afford to ignore

that's what i'm referring to; the DNC has been ignoring it so much that they've given tepid-at-best support for texan democrats for decades.
also: democrats don't bother to understand why people don't vote and still bother to do nothing about it once educated on why; but republicans do bother to understand do bother to do something about it.
that's they their victories are usually in the single digit range in texas; they take action to suppress the vote when they see that there's a chance that they might lose and no one who has the sufficient clout to contest it does so.

Democrats should put their best foot forward in every senate race. Push hard and get the message out. It just takes a couple unlikely wins. Maybe they won't win the senate, but it might push enough people to vote blue in local races.

that works in some parts of the country and i used to believe it too; but living in texas has disabused me of this belief and this cookie cutter approach of simply pushing people to vote without bothering to understand why they're not nor taking action to help is dooming democrats in texas because the republicans do bother understand and do bother to take action for their beloved texas.

Because I would like my country to be a better place?

Meh, I always think it's good to keep trying. But yeah, to your point, the odds are not in Dems favor.
-
trying make sense; but you have to do it wisely.
democrats don't bother to understand why people aren't voting and; even when someone educates them on why; they still don't bother to do anything about it.
living in texas has taught me that republicans do bother with understanding and also take actions to "protect" texas.
not even the DNC is bothering to provide full support for texan democrats so it begs the question: what are democrats expecting when they're not trying anywhere near as much as the republicans are.
