Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't we be totally freaking the fuck out right now?
I mean, yes, but also the entire regressive ecosystem is gaslighting centrists with "both sides" nonsense, so if you actively freak out it will just alienate the people we need to care.
I think the best course of action is to get as involved locally as you can. Show up to school board and city council meetings. Have and express your opinion on the current business before them. Volunteer, do community outreach, and explore mutual aid.
The right has a well established network for communicating their doctrine and giving people east activities to gradually ramp up their involvement. We need to create similar structures for ourselves even more than we need to scream at elected officials who will ignore us anyway.
Build parallel power, and then use whatever leverage you can to force saner voices to prevail.

I just love how responding emotionally (and totally fucking appropriately) to the methodical fascist takeover of our country is alienating to some. I can see why so-called centrists can receive even more ire than the opposition in certain circumstances (MLK, anyone?).
Welp, I'm already an engaged voter. Guess it's really time to start doing more. Really starting to despise these power hungry assholes, you know?
Agreed entirely. Love you, brosis. We've got this, even if it gets worse before it gets better.

Thank you. I needed that, legitimately. :)
