      Rather than another critique of Antifa what I'd like to see is a credible alternative plan for defeating contemporary fascism.

      I'm getting a lot of responses like this -- and it feels odd because I sort of believe this too. https://twitter.com/jbarro/status/896896919431127041 …

      Ever since Trump announced, I've thought that normal politics was the way to defeat him. Continued to believe that even after he won.

      Here's the thing: I believe in politics, in organizing mass movements & winning election. I hate apolitical or anti-political cynicism.

      But the current situation really does feel like a massive failure of normal politics.

      Trump is POTUS & refuses to forthrightly condemn white nationalism. Bannon & Gorka are in White House. Normal politics hasn't stopped this

      Normal politics hasn't been able to stop grotesqueries )nuclear brinksmanship, flirting with racism) we see now. Where does that leave us?

          But politics has to be linked to an agenda that resonates with people in their everyday struggles. The right is organized, the left is not.

          I don't actually have any answers to this. I'm writing in the spirit of thinking out loud & arguing with myself.

          Our political system has become exponentially abnormal since Citizens United.

          What if this is normal politics? What if the abnormal period was post civil rights act to Obama?

          If you look at American history there is enough of an argument that what were looking at now is normal.

          At least 60% of GOP backs Trump, enough to primary those who don't & Trump's 30+% of the electorate has disproportionate cong influence.

          That is they have the small state/rural bias in the Senate and a gerrymandered house. And that doesn't count those "shy" racists out there.

          Maybe we weren't doing "normal politics" right. 🤷🏻‍♀️
