3 In 4 Admit They’re More Stressed About Nation’s Future Than Before

As the Trump Republican fascist coup continues more and more Americans are waking up to what is happening to democracy and equality in the United States, and are thinking about where they might emigrate to. This is what classically happens when democracies are transformed into fascist authoritarian oligarchies. The only good news is what happened last Tuesday. If enough of us wake up to what is happening and 12 million turn out for nonviolent demonstrations, and a majority vote only for Democrats in 2026, we may be able to save our country.
