It sounds like you know he has no plans for elections in the near future. He doesn't care, all of them are letting us know they don't care about his polling numbers. The only thing that can change the trajectory is millions in the streets, all over this county. It worked for the judiciary in Israel, but just barely. It took the entire citizenry. It will be same here.

You’re absolutely right, when institutions fall short, it’s the people who have to rise. Millions in the streets might sound extreme, but history shows it’s often the only language power understands. I’ve been thinking about that exact parallel with Israel, too… and how close they came to losing it all.

What do you think it’ll take to get Americans off the sidelines in that kind of unified way? And do you think we’re already too desensitized, or is there still a spark left to light?

We have to believe that there is still a spark and act as though everything depends on what we do. It depends on us and the actions we take now. If we don't believe in the spark and act on it, we won't survive.
