Trump is building ‘one interface to rule them all.’ It’s terrifying.

If nobody wants to rally behind your rallying cry, maybe try joining some existing organizations that have similar strategy and tactics as you. But just be aware that sometimes meeting those folks requires being active in adjacent spaces. You might need to put in the work to really get plugged in and involved.
But there is a vast sea of resistance work happening between, on one end, peacefully waving cardboard signs at passing cars and, on the other side, armed revolution. I'll give you some examples:
- Meet with your local representatives and politicians and convince them to pass resolutions or legislation that put local roadblocks in the way of fascist incursions.
- Look up vendors that supply or provide services to Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices and contact their customers, encouraging them to drop their contracts due to those vendors working with ICE.
- Block entrances to ICE buildings to prevent kidnapped migrants from being transferred.
- Follow and harass ICE vehicles so as to screw up their operational security.
- Bang pots and pans outside hotels where ICE agents are known to be staying so that they can't get any sleep.
- Show up at immigration court cases in support of migrants.
- Post long screeds on social media encouraging folks not to give up the fight.
I've done some but not all of the above. You might consider doing the same.
I agree that the people who are just twiddling their thumbs waiting for midterms are misguided, but so are the people who have given up six months into this regime. What I think isn't misguided is trying to slow, delay, and generally gum up the works of everything this regime is trying to accomplish before the midterms. There are only so many months before then, so the more we can prevent them from damaging now, the better off we'll be if and when we take back control. (I fully realize the prospect of even having midterms isn't guaranteed, much less winning them.)
I really like your second bullet.
A couple of the others, my only hesitation is that I am a naturalized, non-white citizen so I do sometimes have to balance the progress my actions will yield with being disappeared from the equation entirely. Thoughts?

Yep. Those genocide protestors sure showed us, didn’t they?
I respect the protests. Bring on more protests. It's the whole not voting thing that I do no respect.

Exactly. Protesting is an effective way to get your voice heard. But those that chose to withhold their vote only served to cut off the noses of others to spite an issue they know little about.
SO many people are being hurt by their ignorant and selfish decision.

Yeah, I think right now it's probably smart to be cautious. I don't know your particular situation or risk tolerance, but I gotta believe that there's some type of resistance you'd be comfortable doing. I will say though that pretty much anything worth doing right now is going to be outside our comfort zone. And that applies to all of us.
But even if you feel like there's nothing you can do, you can support those who are in a better position to act.

But just the blood infusion thing right? Pretty sure all the other stuff is true
150 is probably way too young in his opinion. He's moved on to transhumanism. He wants to live for eternity
I hope he ends up a brain in a jar and somebody stores him in the back of a closet under some old newspapers.
Oh God yes a still sentient and thinking brain just completely devoid of sensory input for eternity until he goes mad. Ironic fates ftw

Risk tolerance high, but blocking ICE entry a no-go because for me that's just a visual fail and kind of a dumb move.
Stealth disruption, great. Funding efforts, happy to. Provide arms, fine. Use of my own arms, sure.

As much of a prick as this guy is, I don't think that's true. The behind the bastards episode on him couldn't substantiate it at least
Nah, it's true.

But both sides bad!
More like "both sides don't care about the working class."
The lesser evil is still evil.

Nah, it's true.
Well, guess I can't deny such compelling evidence

Yep, when it comes to MAGAs, I'll offer them the same commitment to truth that they have. They are bad people to the core, so I don't have any problems believing the worst stories about them. I'm sure they are all totally true, and if they aren't, I don't care.

Signed, Democrats.

That doesn't sound great. What benefits do you see in mirroring this behavior
