A lot of important and great sentiment, and belief, in this piece from AOC.

Take two and half minutes to listen...

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

AOC: "...weaker than they look. It is important that we remember that. Because what they rely on is the impression of power...giving up in advance...Donald Trump is at record levels of unpopularity.
Protecting people is too important a task to give up before anything starts."
