Absolutely. We don't have to stoop to MAGA's level, with threats and intimidation, but we can and should be the most annoying things we each can think of. That song that's been stuck in your head for a month, that subtle and insidious hiss you can't seem to find the source of, that stain on your favorite shirt that you've washed like 5x today and it still won't come out.
But we can also get our friends and neighbors involved and build mutual aid networks and support each other.
I want this but for online. We need to unify our online voices and it can't be the under the current tent for left leaning people. If we had single way that we handled discourse between each other we could present as a united front. Right now, though, it's easy for everything to devolve into pissing contests and everyone walks away mad. I dunno, I just wish we could make allies and treat allies like allies. Maybe if the online community had a say in who we were going to side with and how we are going to treat each other we wouldn't be so quick to metaphorically try and curb stomp everyone who says something you don't like, even if they're ultimately on your side.
