John, Step #9 on the way to autocracy is a bleak one: Normalize Violence.
So how is the Trump Administration wielding its might against ordinary people to further its autocratic agenda? Here are some examples:
- This summer, a multi-million dollar military parade rolled through the streets of our nation’s capital.
- ICE Agents, National Guardsmen, and Marines occupy our cities and threaten families with impunity.
- Since February, government agents have kidnapped citizens and immigrants alike from courthouses, off the streets, and inside private homes.
They want to terrify folks so much that we are scared to act, to resist, and to speak up.
Breaking this cycle takes more than condemnation; it takes visibility. When we show up, film abuses, organize our neighbors to provide support and shelter, and vote out anyone silent about these horrible actions, we’re building the muscle memory of freedom.
Independent oversight, legal aid funds, and rapid-response networks matter because they remind those in power that someone is watching. Collective courage and nonviolent civil disobedience matter more than ever — no one should have to stand alone in the face of state-sanctioned force.
Together,
Stacey Abrams
