Now that fascism is here, it could hammer on any door. We need a list of things that any citizen can do to resist, push back, and fight back.

This is the key to it all! We need organization and a roadmap NOW! Complaining into the “void” is useless. WHAT CAN WE DO?

Put people in office that will do something. And not wait until the midterms, start recalls now. That will show those that aren't acting that we will not stand for this any longer. We need representatives that will actually represent what the people want, not just bend over for a dictator.

We can also impeach officials at the federal, state, and local level who break laws.

Just because our MAGA GOP Congress has been corrupted into obedience to Trump doesn’t mean we can’t use the rule of law to remove officials other than the president.

In my opinion, joining together is the most powerful thing we can do. The larger the protests are, provided they are peaceful, the more powerful they are. We should join together in huge numbers, protest, and have people around to stop any violent behavior from misguided protesters or outside agitators. Numbers of people matter.

A general strike? I think it will take time for most people to get there. In the meantime...write and call representatives. Attend city hall and educational council meetings.

I don’t think we should wait for Trump’s final rest to fight for our democracy.

Trump can stay or he can go — the fascist machine he’s put in place isn’t going to vanish overnight.

Trump has declared war on Democratic city's. Fight back!!! You have as businesses have the right to refuse service. Turn ICE agents away, do not feed or house them. Use your social media to track and inform. Let's starting fighting back and not make it easy for Trump.

If that "Domestic Terrorist Organization" with a 1:1 comparison to the Nazi Gestapo enters your building, I suggest calling YOUR American police and YOUR American Govenor! These are NOT Americans, they are Traitors propping up a historically despised loser who came to power with a 25% popular vote purchase.

We have to fight at every opportunity at every level. There’s no savior coming to bail us out like Biden did after Trump’s first term.

The insanity and lawlessness has progressed rapidly and must be stopped at every turn. If we allow it to reach a certain critical mass, we may never be rid of it.

This is true. The mainstream media will clearly never say this so many people may never hear this. A few democrats are starting to speak out, better very late than never. But God forbid they call out their "colleagues" for their participation in this slide.

They seem to think that the rules all count but they don't. We are not fighting against people who don't care about breaking the law. They need to be a rude and ruthless as the Republicans have been to them. It's time for a backbone and they need to start using it.

Many years from now historians will be writing about how we all got sucked into terrible times by a moron with dementia. HOW did we not "see" it? HOW did we not stop it? It wasn't enough for him to screw up his life, so he went on to break the world as if it was his to do with as he pleased.

I want to know what we as a free people can do to stop Trump and his crew of unintelligent people. You are so right. It starts small and then it’s a fascist country and we look at one another and ask, how did this happen? What can we do now to stop it. Impeachment is not the answer because we need to get all of his cabinet out.

Impeach people at lower levels for illegal behavior. Force Abbott to move up the special election for the empty House seat from November.

Indict MAGA GOP members of Congress for corruption and crimes committed. Charge MAGA GOP officials under state laws — if they’re convicted, Trump can’t pardon them.

Write to your Congress members daily. Join every march and protest you can.

Spend 1 hour daily combatting MAGA propaganda online — if everyone does this, we’ll have an online army that can finally drown out the massive MAGA propaganda machine.

I appreciate when you speak your mind instead of just wrapping up stories that have previously aired. Lets see some more David. We need voices and action now.

We can only hope we have elections in the future. If we do we have to make sure they are not rigged! There is a lot of talk saying the presidential election was rigged! I am not talking about 2020. We know that was fair. Trump is not the only problem, it’s his hand picked loyalist and a weak republican congress! All we can do is peacefully protest and vote! Let’s hope we get a chance!

Our next Nation wide protests should be simply

“Impeach the Facist”

then if the courts refuse to finally step up to criminal contempt and jail the bastard(s)

we need a revolution starting with a general strike.

But will the US military stand to be used in this way? What, one wonders, would be the chance of a military coup in the event of their being driven too far?
