Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.
Rules
- Do not gatekeep resistance
- Do not organize specific subversive plans here.
- Do not identify yourself or anyone else here.
- Do brainstorm general ideas about how to support people who need it and stymie the efforts of fascists
- Do share thoughts on how to be personally prepared for subversive action

Here is a plan I like:
Step one - Regroup and storm. We need to have infighting until a new left leaning populist movement emerges that can defeat this right wing populist movement. That requires folks to argue, bang their heads, retreat, and emerge anew. Accept the infighting for a bit.
Step two - rally around a new message. The message needs to be emotional, simple, and economic. It needs to undermine this administration entirely, exploiting their economic weakness. The policy should be reduced to a three word chant, with each word being a single syllable. Think about the simplicity and rhythm of "Drain The Swamp" or "Build The Wall," but imagine a good message that builds the economy for the masses.
Step three - back the most charismatic politician who adopts the message at every level of government.
