    I do, some less savory ones but the “correct” ones are to unite and help, via a grassroots movement to mobilize the population. Show solidarity, and help groups organize to defend democracy.

      Find some of your local republican law makers and “encourage” them to disown their party or quit. I’ll let you choose your methods, but “protesting” would be a weak choice. When you hit them at home, they start to get worried this shit might come back on them.

        Hard to believe the famous quote by Malcolm X for civil rights is now relevant for democracy; you know which one.

            A large number of Americans far removed from the ruling class want fascism. They want it because they’ve been propaganda-brainwashed, and their feelings are hurt if you call it fascism, but they mos def want it.

              They don’t want anything except to hurt liberals. Literally nothing matters to trump supporters/the American right other than hurting the people they don’t like. I am American, and live in a red state. The Republican Party gives 0 shits about anything expect for lining their pockets. Their supporters don’t care as long as what they do hurts women/children/gays/black people/immigrants/trans/anyone that isn’t a straight white man.

                They see it all, what’s happening and where it’s headed, and they cheer. It’s moot whether they cheer because they want fascism or because their fascist brainwashers have told them to cheer. They want fascism whether they admit it, even whether they know it, or not.
