    I wouldn’t. I’d just move somewhere else.

    Why? Because whatever I do to attempt to stop the transition will be much less effective on obtaining quality of life improvements for myself and my loved ones than moving somewhere else. And that’s not even going into the risks of attempting to get between a potential dictator and their power.

    Votes are individually irrelevant. Protests are ignored, even if massive. Opinions and relevant facts to change opinions are lost in a sea of extremely well funded narrative-affirming propaganda. Civil disobedience will get you nothing but legal trouble. Strikes are broken.

    Let’s be real. There is nothing that can be done, realistically, as an individual without an extraordinary amount of political capital, money or military influence.

    Anything short of a huge chunk of the armed forces organizing an armed coup is completely irrelevant.

    The only realistic solution is jumping ship.

      And what country is going to accept mass political refugees from the USA?

      You make it sound like that’s an easy option that everyone has.
