what do we do tho? like, honestly? what happens if he’s elected? what do we honest to god do?
Coming from the UK after our own catastrophe: you make his life hell. You make his government’s life hell. Anything and everything shitty that they want to do, you protest, you campaign, you petition, you lobby. You tie the whole thing up in so much red tape that Mr I’ve-Never-Had-Anyone-Say-No-To-Me starts loathing his job.
You create private safe zones, you look out for one another, you let your now validated racist, homophobic, transphobic neighbours know that their bigotry will not be tolerated through any means you feel it’s safe to do so. You join forces. Despite everything, you thrive out of spite, out of survival, out of a need to protect your own.
All of these communities have faced untold amounts of hell before and we’re all still here. It’s in our history to survive – in our genetic makeup. There will be losses and there will be casualties but in four years you’ll still be here and you’ll vote him out and the time to grieve will be then. For now, fight. In any way you can, even if all you can do is get through each day at a time. Fight him every step of the way.
coming from the philippines where we’ve already impeached a president before and currently have had our own trump for the last few months: get loud.
make his job harder than it needs to be–don’t break the law, i mean get loud. protest. let people know ur unhappy. let the world know there’s something wrong. make his job harder than it needs to be by being that annoying neighbor that won’t turn down the volume until he has no choice but to move out.
get loud.
