And if it collapses the broader political moment and leaves us in a position where only fascists and AIPAC democrats are allowed to engage in politics? I appreciate you at least answering. I’m not asking these questions because they have easy answers. I’m asking them because their answers are particularly difficult and consequential.

There can’t be a doubt that this is taking some wind out of the sails of the current political moment, where there was some optimism on the left. I hope that our movement is more robust than that, and I believe it to be so. However, I wont dismiss how entrenched and powerful the existing power structures are. If they can find a way to destroy this movement, they will.
