In October and March I attended the No Kings rallies. I can assure you there were a great many people there who were NOT keeping their heads down and trying to ignore Trump's corruption.
That's the strength, isn't it, Sue? Being there has given me courage because I saw collective courage. Not earth-shaking bravery, but the ignition of what we will need as November draws near.
My main, nagging misgiving about how quickly that 'learning' happens is stubbornly rooted in just how apparently hard the ~40% of folks that are currently 'ok enough' with things need to be punched in the face by their own kind before 'light dawns over Marblehead', so to speak.
I do, however, remain quite optimistic that our current predicament will (ultimately)not be allowed to stand.
