I wish progressives could believe as much in their power together as regressives do. Yes, the regressives have that right-wing $$$, but if the $$ alone could have done it, they wouldn't have bothered trying to create disinfo campaigns to hook people through social media.
If things could turn around relatively quickly like this due to right-wing suscepts' belief in people power, they can turn the other way as well. Remember '60s counter-culture came about in reaction to repressive McCarthyism.
@meganL it's been reassuring to see universities divesting in Israel in response to protests (even though many are dragging their heels). Kind of shows that when a lot of people care about something and organize they can make a difference. And we all know those student movements aren't absolutely rolling in money, at least not at the public universities
(Note I'm not trying to direct this post at a specific issue, just using the most recent example I can think of)
