Timothy Noah’s “Fighting Back: A Citizen’s Guide to Resistance” highlights the power of ordinary citizens in defending democracy.
Key takeaways:
- Collective Action: While individual efforts matter, united action amplifies impact.
- Diverse Strategies: Engage in various forms of resistance—protests, legal challenges, and community organizing.
- Persistent Vigilance: Continuous engagement is essential; complacency allows threats to democracy to grow.
- Historical Precedents: Past citizen-led movements have successfully enacted significant political reforms.
“While there’s no single solution, the collective efforts of many can safeguard democratic principles.”
