Frederick Douglass famously asserted, 'Power concedes nothing without a demand, it never has and it never will.' This maxim is usually invoked to stress the need for tenacity.
In this case, the 'last war' is the mass Women's Marches of January 2017, the largest protests in US history-until the Black Lives Matter mobilizations in 2020!
The question now is how to deploy actual power to block the vicious MAGA agenda once it takes control of the federal government.
