Your guide is excellect, but I'd add one thing to the role of art, comedy, and satire...the related and all-encompassing phenomenon of our time—the Superstar. Not only musicians but athletes and actors inhabit that powerful, new realm. While one may lament the phenomenon, their participation is critical, and many are already sympathetic. The problem of large egos and cautious/financially-oriented advisors can be overcome.

Thank you. I will not isolate. I will seek other drops of blue in this sea of red. Together is better than alone. I will keep sane and say something when I sense a lie. I have a gift of discernment and will speak out. Did anyone else notice that trump did NOT place his hand on the bible? He was NOT honest in the oath. So many lies in his talk... as always.

Love the guide. I would add Go on the Offensive.

Attack and discredit the key players who are in the authoritarian regime. Do not let them have it easy. Put them on their heels, so to speak.

Steve Bannon said the way to deal with the media is to flood the zone with shit. Well, we need to fling the shit back with truth AND information that undermines their credibility.

We also need to recast our fight as against the oligarchs, not against the fellow Americans who have fallen prey to the propaganda machine.

More Mocracybell indeed. The Singing Revolution(s) always made the most sense.

Liberals, they're smart, they understand Trump and the mask-off branch of fascism is giving up the game and risking the Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie. Liberals love the dictatorship of capitalists, liberalism was invented to defend it, but understand for it to last it must be done by mostly soft power domestically. Liberals still love to slaughter women and children by the thousands abroad of course, via their fascist and terrorist allies, as we see in Palestine, the Russian Donbass, Iraq, Libya, Syria etc. What liberals don't want you to know, is that no one but the rich are free under capitalism, and all they do is defend the Ivory Towers and misdirect grievances to foreign scapegoats eg China, Russia or Putin.

I hate Russell Vought and Christian Nationalism. Words have lost their meaning.
