    Your position is absolutely understandable. What you and your fellow citizens can do are

    • attending protests
    • battling the administration if you are the administrator of some company/agency/museum that the government wants to dismantle
    • making your voice be heard on social media as well

    The government wants you as apathetic as possible. Don’t let them be right

        I don’t think that’s true. There’s big power in what people demonstrably believe.

        Knowing that everyone else is fighting back too is emboldening.

          25 years ago, maybe.

          Now, seeing protest after protest while the Trump administration does whatever it wants EVEN HARDER is like watching the opposing team in Air Bud wring their hands about the rulebook while a fucking golden retriever dunks on them over and over.

          Peaceful protests are feeding demoralization and making things worse, not better.

            Do you think sitting on your arse claiming there’s nothing to be done is more or less demoralising than singing in the streets with like minded people?

            Maybe you work different than most humans, but I think the answer to that is pretty obvious for the rest of us.
