How to Fight Back

I feel for you, TexCavy. I'm fighting panic all the time. It helps that I'm in the Boston area and was able to be part of three big protests in the past 10 days. Doing something and connecting with people helps.
My big fear is what happens after the next incident of domestic terrorism. I suspect that the majority of our populace will readily trade what's left of our civil rights for the illusion of more security.

Here's a fun and useful thing to do. Surprisingly straightforward questions about Rump from Fox News. Be sure to click Vote after every question. Even if it doesn't record immediately, you can continue with the survey and it will catch up with you.

The slant of most of the votes in that Fox poll was surprisingly ... sane.
I liked voting and then watching the ticker go up on this worldwide petition.

I signed it too.
I just read a superb interview with someone who has been trying for years to change Democratic messaging. The basis is in psychology and the way our minds work. Repeating the bad stuff reinforces it.

You might also want to watch Keith Olbermann's apology to the world. I hope they hear us.

I'm getting pressured on social media by the few apathetic in their little blind bubbles to stop being to politically outspoken. It's getting to me today. I was not a political person till I heard trumpspeak. I knew what it was and where it could lead. I changed completely. People are missing the old fun, FB entertainer I used to be. I try to tell them you can only have that back if we win this fight. I don't think I am getting through.

TexCavy, don't try to convince them. You'll never budge the die-hard Rump supporters.
Put your efforts into the 50% of people who didn't vote in the last election. Get trained as a deputy voter registrar (free, one hour training, see the tax assessor's page for your county) and register people to vote.
Call your legislators and register your opposition.
Above all, find a local group to join -- you'll get plenty of support there.

I don't know if you've posted this one yet, but it's awesome!

I apologize if I am reposting a link that has been shown before. Now I am getting my breakdown of the news from this mailing list. It is somewhat less shocking and fear inducing this way for me.
