Dictatorships are built on narratives. To stop them one must break their narrative, which is an iterative process—they’ll change the narrative to explain away new developments, but if you force them to keep making changes faster than their adherents can absorb them, their shared reality will fall apart.

I feel this is really the most important answer here. We must break the false narratives that they use to hold power.

And nothing does that better than video evidence. Fortunately, virtually every cell phone still in existence can record video.

but the problem now is we are in the age of "ai" & fake videos.

They will just claim everything is fake (while claiming their own fake videos are real and the only Truth).

Nothing can ever be perfect. We have AI detection capabilities to identify faked videos. You’ll never convince 100% of any group of anything. We still have to sway as many people as possible. Not every voter is a conspiracy nut.
