Ok so Trump has been elected president. I honestly don't care whether it is the fault of the people that are constantly bickering online or the DNC platform.

To me all that matters is what are you going to do next.

Trump has outlined a plan, Agenda 47, and is probably in cahoots with the people that made Project 2025. They have spelled out every horrible thing they are going to do.

How are you individually planning to help stop/curtail these efforts?

Sabotaging oil rigs, stopping the destruction of abortion clinics, DIY medicine, guerilla gardening, etc.

The actions don't have to be big, but we are currently in the position that the people who lived under Hitler went through can we please not take this sitting down.

Disclaimer: I'm not American.

My plan is to cooperate with a local non-profit and start supplying dirt cheap drones to Ukrainians, since they'll be needing more if ¹ US assistance gets cut by Trump. The cooperation has actually started since we didn't wait for things to hit the fan. I hope we'll pick up speed. Product development is terribly, nerve-stretchingly slow.

¹ more likely "when", not "if"

For some reason, I suspect that many people have made a similar decision in Europe recently. Visited a civil engineering company recently. Saw engineers fitting a precise replica of a Browning 12.7 mm machine gun into something. Didn't ask what it was - had no need to know - obviously some robotic system. It's kind of sad that we're undergoing a rush of militarization, but when the biggest member of an alliance starts to go haywire and there's a conquering dictatorship next door, it's pretty much the only thing that can be done to change the outcome.
