This is just my opinion, but I think the red line is letting the opposition take over your movement and speak for you. That seems to have been exactly what happened on the 6th. We have to have a clear message with designated leaders if we want to be heard and prevent our opposition from defining us.
A couple issues there. The 6th revealed many "leaders" to be turncoats, and we now have no means to communicate our message to the average person. I'm not dooming, I'm just being a realist. Right now I feel like the Rebel Alliance at the end of ESB, and Don Solo just got frozen in carbonite.
It's an uphill battle, but I think the first step is getting people to fight it. Organization is major challenge to be overcome, but there are people like Scott Presler and Brandon Straka that are taking steps. We obviously need much more than that, but it is a start.
