This is an important essay: “How not to defeat authoritarianism” https://www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-not-to-defeat-authoritarianism/ Moderation, shifting to the right, “kitchen table issues,” chasing the Overton Window – whatever you call it, it worked 30 years ago, but it’s stopped working. "Every democracy facing this challenge has learned you don’t defeat authoritarians by being more reasonable. You defeat them by being more determined and by uniting the country against their most visible vulnerability: their corruption.”
