16. I agree, but politicians are not the answer. They are too cautious.

It will have to be the people, many people, many many people. Because we have a representative democracy or republic, or whatever it is called, we have a habit of relying on the representatives. They are just politicians. Just talk, no action. It must be the people.

It must be the people who say NO.

To whom?

The fascist power coalition consists of (1) fascist organizers, (2) fascist followers, (3) fascist funders and oligarchs, (4) true believers, and (5) thugs. Which ones are vulnerable and in what way?

That's all I've got right now.
