I am all with you in this. As I wrote to you already, I published a fiction book on Amazon, Mona, under the name Adam Flint, picturing what is likely to happen to people if we let a far-right religious dictatorship seize the country. A fiction book about reality, a story in our world, not a story made to escape it, is much more real than any non-fiction book about democracy and the loss of it. Because about us, our experience of life, our emotions. I was also very active in the last elections to help Democrats being elected locally. If we lose our democracy, we lose everything we care for, comprising our planet (there is not a world in which a Republican dictatorship will care about global warming, and there is no other world than this one).
I deeply share your concern about Decent America. I'm not an outgoing person, so my participation in the process is undertaking the fourteen hour day of being a poll worker. The precinct I will serve is small, so I don't think I will have to undergo the indignities of right wing "poll watchers", but I can't be certain. This really is our Waterloo.

Your urgency is well-placed, Scott.
