What would I have done if I were an Italian in the early 1920s or a German in the early 30s?
I don’t know, but I’m an American in 2025, and I’m scratching my head, trying to imagine anything that I could do with the resources at my disposal to undermine, to resist the fall of the flawed democracy into which I was born.
I’m thinking about ways I can spend my money and not spend it.
I’m thinking about ways I can spend my time or not spend it.
I’m thinking about the influence I have over people in my professional, social, and familial spheres.
I don’t have great answers to these questions.
I don’t believe there are great answers to them, but I’m trying.
