Trump just signed an executive order banning vote by mail and ordering the defunding of any state that does not follow through with it as well as engage in massive voter roll purges. There won't be free and fair elections ever again. If you're waiting for 2026, it's already too late.

I believe defender of democracy should read the book “Money, Lies, and God.” By K.Stewart to understand how well funded and well organized the MAGA movement is. It is critical to organize, find funding, and develop representative government designed for the people.
