I’ve been trying to tell people that QAnon is madness but that Trump and his followers will embrace them as a necessary alternate reality. The threat is growing.

It’s time to grit our teeth, recognize the reality, and do the hard necessary work of dismantling fascism. https://twitter.com/willsommer/status/1334505972417638402
We have to stop looking away from our very real problems of white supremacy, weaponized disinformation, and rhetoric that turns us from addressable issues to symbolic battles. We have to understand these bizarre alternate realities and fight against them.
Trump and QAnon and this fascist movement isn’t something you can just turn off like a bad TV show. They’re symptoms of a much larger and pervasive disease that festered for years and years and are only going to grow.
Incrementalism and denial isn’t going to get this country on track. The foundation is rotting, there’s mold in the walls. It’s time for something larger that addresses alienation, inequality, and this stagnancy. It’s time to go big or go home.
