There is only one way out—providing that the Trump fascists don't start their civil war before the election. That is to wipe them out at the polls, to make it clear that decent Americans are not going to stand for this "conservative" bullshit any longer. Our plan has to be to convince all the people who are still resigned that each one of them can do one simple thing to save themselves and the nation: simply go to the polls and vote against every Republican they see on the ballot. It really isn't a lot to ask. We need to get four a five friends together, go to vote, and then go out for lunch or dinner to watch America be saved.
It's not a complex or overly strategic. It's just doing our duty.
Thank for writing to refreshingly frankly about what America is facing. I wish we had a plan. We need A PLAN. I’m a recovering academic, and most of my academic friends have a helpless resignation. “My act of resistance is continue my scientific research…” etc. The house is on fire, and saying so is still generally regarded as an hysterical act. Hoping for the best is hardly a strategy. It’s lazy, and it’s a symptom denial. I do think more of us would face the miserable truth if there were clarity - or even ideas - concerning the way out.
