I wish people could learn and practice how to recognize (and, hopefully, resist) this kind of persuasion. Trolling is just a dominance display. Don't fall for it.

Mayes: We’re talking about having to physically protect the machinery of democracy. And to me, it is surreal that we are at that place. But what I want Americans to know is that you have a team of AGs that has been working together for more than a year now to protect democracy.

screenshot quoting Greg Pak: "Also, for the doomers & deactivists out there... I'm making this list not because I expect the current Democratic Party to fight for any of this, but because WE have to decide what WE'RE going to fight for, and we have the biggest chance to remake the party in 2026 than anyone's had in generations."
