I’ve been coming to this same realization.

My fellow people of the United States, if I have anything to teach from what Minneapolis just lived through, it is this:

Nobody is coming to save us. 

Not Congress. Not the courts. Not the ICC or the EU or NATO. Not the generals or the rank and file. Not the press. Not the markets. Not the elections. Not some mythical version of “The People” that materializes out of nowhere as some messianic external force. 

We’re it. We’re all we’ve got. If we don’t stop fascism from completely engulfing the US, then nobody stops it.
