10 Ways to Be Prepared and Grounded in Fascist America:

#10. Envision a better future. Vote Trump out, or kick him out. A national nonviolent resistance campaign can remove fascists and oligarchs. Trump overreach can spark a revolution. Political weakness will bring out GOP knives.

10 Ways to Be Prepared and Grounded in Fascist America:

#9: Handle fear. Make political violence rebound. Violence rebound requires refusing to be intimidated and resisting threats and make those threats backfire. Make a positive spectacle of repression. The Civil Rights Movement did exactly that.

10 Ways to Be Prepared and Grounded in Fascist America:

Step 8: Get real about power. Rallies are ineffective. Pillars that support Fascism need to be disrupted to topple Fascist power. Mass disrupt and disobey. If large groups stop providing their skills the Fascist cannot rule; national strikes

10 Ways to Be Prepared and Grounded in Fascist America:

Step 7: Reorient your political map. Trump will not be stopped by the military, congress or lawyers. But, with the aid of these three power centers fascism can be stopped by mass noncooperation.

10 Ways to Be Prepared and Grounded in Fascist America:

Step 6: The political space you don't use you lose. Most power is freely given to fascists. Use the political space you have and the voice you have as safely as you can.

10 Ways to Be Prepared and Grounded in Fascist America:

Step 5: Find your path, such as protect people, defend institutions, disrupt/disobey, build alternatives. Some of our best allies will be insiders silently resisting. Others will rally to protect immigrants. Workers can strike. Find your path

10 Ways to Be Prepared and Grounded in Fascist America:

Step 4: Chaos is the friend of fascists. Trying to solve the all the chaos is bad strategy. Knee jerk reactions are a dead end:
•social media outrage, sharing awful news
•symbolic actions like Pussyhat Protests
There are more effective ways.

10 Ways to Be Prepared and Grounded in Fascist America:

Step 3: Grieve. Accept that losing the White House to fascists and oligarchs means we all lose a lot. Believe it. Believe it now. Grief is a pathway to acceptance.

Step 2: Find others you trust. Resist social isolation of the mind. Fear breeds distance. In a destabilized society you need people who help ground you.

10 Ways to Be Prepared and Grounded in Fascist America:

Step 1. Trust yourself, your own eyes, gut. Trust your inner voice. Admit your fears.

I'm working on accepting the election results as opposed to raging against the outcome. In the end they are both the same.

Tuning out the negative is a sign of strength. Cultivated ignorance brings peace
