But I wonder if this is the right strategy. People mostly fear he will curtail abortion and gay rights. Remember gay marriage was first legalized Hawaii under Bush's administration. And as for abortion, the man doesn't know whether he's coming or going. He went from being pro-choice to being pro-ofe in a matter of day because he believed that's where the votes would come from. Instead of fighting the man, I think we'd do well to establish ourselves as a blocking block that he can ignore only at his peril.
Things Trump can do to those who resist him.
1. Use eminent domain to take all their property and give it to the big industries that support him.
2. Dry up their money in court fighting bogus criminal charges just like they did the Black Panther Party
3. Use the press to discredit them in the eyes of their supporters
4. Eliminate funding of scientific projects
Think strategically. Resistance is a defensive strategy and no war is ever won defensively. They can hold to what they stand for and keep their missions in mind, yet set themselves up as a formidable voting block and see how fast he'll climb Mount Improbable.
I don't think Trump has any policies, He just said shit to get elected.
This is part of his problem he is a total unknown whose word means nothing whose stance today says nothing about tomorrow.
The US just voted in a moron who will either be stunned into inaction by world events or overreact in a damaging way. They voted for the worst person at the worst time and the whole world will suffer.
Look at who supports him outside the US, Far right groups and Russia, that's all.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
