REGIME CHANGE

Reflecting on what the 2024 election results signal about the contemporary U.S. Right and landscape of contestation, this discussion will focus on how we, on the social movement Left, are readying ourselves for an authoritarian Trump regime. What acute opportunities and threats exist in the near and longer-term future and what analytical and forward-looking clarity do we need to prepare for them?
