🧵 The far right in the United States has two significant advantages over the opposition:
1) A massive network of advocacy media that lift each other up and share messages
2) Civic organizations, especially churches, that model themselves as social change entities, and act accordingly.
Neither one of these things need be a permanent advantage. The first one can be mitigated by greater cooperation of the outlets that do exist and crowdfunding. The second, by a reinvigorated liberalism.
