The lessons from Brazil and Serbia?
Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right.
Don't appease.
Don't triangulate.
Don't grovel.
Don't say they have "legitimate concerns".
Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.
In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.
This is the biggest corruption scandal in American history. The Trump crime family is trying to sell the future natural gas rights of Alaska to the Russians in exchange for $25 billion in cash for themselves today.
Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia’s longtime nationalist strongman, conceded defeat Sunday in a general election held after his once-tight grip on power was weakened by nearly two years of student-led protests. nyti.ms/4zegOaY
In this stroller, there is now nothing but a bloody pulp. This is all that remains of the baby after today’s Russian shelling of a park in the Kharkiv region.

Imagine being a CEO of an US energy company and thinking that you work with close associates of the Trump family, only to find out that behind them is a sanctioned Russian company, really pulling the strings.
This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...
ELON HAS:
- Cut off satellites to Ukraine
- Spent $500 million on the midterms
- Put $1 billion into Skydance
- Had the Musk documentary banned from social media and pulled from theaters
- Threatened any politician who comes after him with violence
- Has appeared to be very high on ketamine again
😡Ukraine violated the terms of service of Starlink and used it to launch offensive drone strikes with the aim of killing people. This loophole was closed last week, - Musk.
LOL -- JD Vance says "I've endorsed one foreign candidate in my entire life, and it didn't go particularly well, as much as I'm very much an admirer of Orban"
If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations.
When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.
Ukraine says satellite access still restricted despite Trump saying otherwise The president said SpaceX CEO Elon Musk lifted restrictions on Ukraine’s access to Starshield, but Ukrainian soldiers said the service was still disrupted Friday.

Rich from Leaving MAGA has his pulse on people in MAGA who are having doubts and thinking of leaving. He says there's a TON of them now. He launched a Kickstarter to help him add more billboards. This would be VERY significant, especially in the lame duck period. I am proudly helping him. Pls click.
Millions of MAGA are having doubts. I feel it. There will NEVER be a better time than NOW to put up more giant billboards nationwide.
I just launched a campaign on Kickstarter to do it. Please click, watch the video, consider supporting the effort.

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months.
Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic.
But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.
🇺🇸⚡️ Senator Mark Kelly, a war hero and NASA astronaut, responded to Steve Witkoff’s praise of Putin:
“Putin is a war criminal, not a humanist. He has killed political opponents and journalists, bombed hospitals, and launched a war that has claimed tens of thousands of innocent lives.
THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)
Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him.
That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.
Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia.
I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.
I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...
Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world"
(This is a lie!)
Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine.
Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.
