You sort of answered your own question in your last sentence.
I don’t have all the answers. But what I do know, is you are literally living in a country where 70% of political experts polled say the United States is no longer a democracy. You are clearly not just seeing backsliding but full on marching towards absolute fascism.
So if you want the real answer, it’s that people are going to have to die and people are going to have to get very uncomfortable in order to turn this around. That, or (and the country is currently doing this) just accept fascism and hope it never comes for you.
If I was an American citizen, I would have been stockpiling food since January. I’d be spending as little money as I possibly can, squirreling away some savings. Most people can, despite what they say, if push really comes to shove. I’d be talking to like minded people and discussing what skills may be able to be traded for in a general strike or emergency.
I’ve laughed at for all of this multiple times, so I don’t really expect it will happen much. But the boots will be on your necks first, even if they eventually come for mine. I’m already planning my life on the assumption it’s coming for me. And I’m not even there.
