Ok so Trump has been elected president. I honestly don't care whether it is the fault of the people that are constantly bickering online or the DNC platform.

To me all that matters is what are you going to do next.

Trump has outlined a plan, Agenda 47, and is probably in cahoots with the people that made Project 2025. They have spelled out every horrible thing they are going to do.

How are you individually planning to help stop/curtail these efforts?

Sabotaging oil rigs, stopping the destruction of abortion clinics, DIY medicine, guerilla gardening, etc.

The actions don't have to be big, but we are currently in the position that the people who lived under Hitler went through can we please not take this sitting down.

I'm not sure it will be possible for a while.

Hunker down, make allies, have an escape plan. Keep doing unobtrusive things to keep important seeds alive and healthy, they're about to face some challenges. Stay off social media or anything that will put a target on you, keep your nose clean.

Until there's a critical mass of resistance, all it will do to try to oppose this is give it more cause for repression. Once it reaches a certain point, then sure. But in the meantime I don't know what would even be possible that would make anything any better.

It's not going to be a fun time.
