There are plenty of other signs like that you could cite, too.
edit: I see Veneroso has already posted the link I was going to post.
It’s always harder for people with morals who aren’t ruthless assholes. But that doesn’t mean it can’t happen, just that it takes more work.

Well, they also owned the Republican party once, and magas/fascists took it over. That means progressives can take over the Democratic party.
No party lasts forever and these two have been way overdue. The way a new party becomes “one of the two” in the US’ 2-party system is either by building up a third party from the bottom up over many years, or by taking control and transforming one of the existing two, which is much faster, as we’ve seen.
Technically the fascist magas started in earnest in 2008 with the Tea party movement as a backlash to Obama, not succeeding to oust Obama in 2012, and taking 8 years to get to Trump. Progressives started in 2016 as a reaction to Trump, got Trump out in 4 years, and stopped the predicted “red wave” in 2022. We’re on track, let’s keep it going. Don’t give up.
Thank you AOC for standing up for the American people! Her speech introducing the articles of impeachment is well worth watching: https://youtu.be/1H1R_qtPiVY
That’s not the only thing, but it’s the minimum required thing. There’s also activism.
If anyone still thinks maga isn’t a full-fledged cult, this proves beyond a doubt it’s entered a new level. And we know what cult members are ready to do at the drop of a (red) hat. Anything their leader tells them to. Anything.
