Don't count on it as the only way out, but also don't count it out entirely. Democracy has power.

Of course, for that to matter, there has to be overwhelming rejection of fascism in the population. Which... we're not seeing.

I don't know... I'm seeing a lot of anger. The oligarchs are censoring even most social media now... But even so, there's so much anger. At town halls, at sports events, there's constant protests going on somewhere... It's being minimized, but it's there

Polling makes me doubt that the anger is being directed at the actual causes.
