I know it may be difficult for some to believe, especially from the outside looking in, but the sea change in the US is in progress.
With the ongoing suppression of our media and the limited means of the average household to reach an audience beyond their local government, it may be hard to see the trees for the forest in a nation that’s so spread out, but we currently have at least one national general strike scheduled, and with every public protest the resistance seems to grow exponentially.
Progressive campaigns like Mamdani’s are spreading and succeeding in many districts once considered solidly MAGA territory. It may take many more months for all of these efforts to reach the national scale and even longer to make it into the international headlines, but it appears Americans haven’t yet given up or fully taken to glassy-eyed complacency.
Whether it’s enough has yet to be seen. I would just offer that perhaps they’re not yet done fighting for their democracy.
