No, I don’t think enough people are doing that, and I think that organization and advocation is needed rather than going on social media to spread defeatism.
I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree. Like it or not, saying “Who is going to stop him?” is promoting a defeatist attitude amongst anyone who reads it. Why not say, “Fuck this, I’m writing to my congress person and taking to the streets again with everyone who I can possibly convince.” No one person is going to solve this alone, but a whole lot of people saying “Well what now 🤷” isn’t actually helpful.

No one is promoting defeatism, I think you might have a habit of assuming questions are rhetorical when they aren’t.
The question is that of organization. Just saying to organize isn’t an answer. How do you organize millions of people?

Again, only if you assume “What now?” is a rhetorical question.
Because that requires organization.
Man you sound defeatist af. Go organize.
Whoosh
