Why do people think there is some riding out this storm? I am curious, what do people mean by this?

  I mean you just hunker down, stop reading the news, go about your life, and hope that the “storm” doesn’t do too much damage, and then work like hell in 4 years time to avoid a repeat (won’t be Trump but to prevent another fascist president, also you can bet that Trump will try for a 3 rd term on the basis that he didn’t serve 2 consecutive terms).

    I think there are some active things you can do to help. Give money to legal groups challenging unconstitutional actions. Write to your various federal reps to let them know how you feel. Be kind and supportive to those being targeted by hate and bigotry. We won't be riding out this storm if we all hunker down.

      > Give money to legal groups challenging unconstitutional actions Maybe work with possible candidates to flippable seats in state and federal levels. Also, work on the politician acquisition pipeline - guiding promising ones to school boards, city council, and upwards.

    The campaign for the next presidential election started the day after the last. The far-right got this and are actively working to discredit any possible competing candidate. Right now is a great time for Dems to start working hard on taking back both houses. Start mapping districts that can be flipped, districts with low voter registration, and which messages they will bombard these people with.
