Pretend you’re in the Weimar Republic fully knowing what lies ahead, while everyone around you either doesn’t care or wants that kind of future. What do you do?

Pretend you’re in the Weimar Republic fully knowing what lies ahead, while everyone around you either doesn’t care or wants that kind of future. What do you do? Do you just give in and try to make friends with those people?
Nothing that is happening right now is normal. Checks and balances are hanging on by a thread. Executive power is being consolidated in ways never seen before in the US. 2-year-olds are sitting in concentration camps in the desert and are being forced to defend themselves in court. All the while our politicians are lying to our faces to cover this up. We should marching in the streets every day, not trying to make friends.
In my opinion, these differences are irreconcilable. The only escape valve is a multi-party system. This is something all sides could in theory work towards. Will the Republicans be willing to give up power in order to do so? Unlikely.
