Maybe, but political literacy means recognizing that Trump and American liberals share most of their ideals, e.g. freedom as economic ‘freedom’, or sanctity of private property. In practice, both rather fight the poor than poverty and regarding racist police their solutions only differ in the amount of training they see fit for cops.
But maybe political maturity is understanding that most people (not just in the US) are politically illiterate.
Good effort post. How about starting to call leftist action leftist? If you tell people they are leftists if they oppose the current administrations course the term becomes less scary.
Treat intentions similar - caring for less fortunate people? Leftist. Worrying about working people’s rights? Leftist. Praising acts of solidarity? Leftist. Once people realize their intentions are not liberal but actually leftist, they might actually break away from blue MAGA and start becoming a real opposition to the current fascist government.
