Same here. Shit, I'm doing that right now in the front lines over here in Florida. I'm not going to cower to this madness. And when shit hits the fan, we are gonna need people on the inside.
Here's a bad ass song about enduring. I've translated the lyrics using google translate in case you don't understand Spanish.
El Aguante by Calle 13
Note: To endure, to hold, and to put up with are the same word in Spanish.

We were born to endure what the body sustains
We endure what came and we endure what is coming
We endure even if we have the seconds counted
Our body can last up to fifteen minutes hanging
We endure whippings, having both arms cut off
Fractures in any bone, three weeks in a cast
We endure the urge to go to the bathroom all the time
To see Halley's Comet, you have to endure seventy years
We endure school, college, institute
At dinner time we hold in our burps
The people of Burundi continue to endure famine
We endured three days to reach the Moon
We endure the cold of the Arctic, the heat of the Tropics
We endure microscopic viruses with antibodies
We endure storms, hurricanes, bad weather
We endured Nagasaki, we endured Hiroshima
Even if we don't want to, we endure new laws
We endure that today kings still exist
We punish the humble and endure the cruel
We endure being slaves because of our skin color
We endure capitalism, communism, socialism, feudalism
We even endure stupidity
We endure the guilty when he plays innocent
We endure our fucking president every year
For what was and for what could be
For what there is, for what may be missing
For whatever comes and for this moment
To toast for endurance
For what was and for what could be
For what there is, for what may be missing
For whatever comes and for this moment
Raise the glass and toast to endurance
To toast for endurance
We endure any type of pain even if it hurts us
We endure Pinochet, we endure Videla
Franco, Mao, Ríos, Mon, Mucabe, Hitler, Idi Amin
Stalin, Bush, Truman, Ariel Sharon and Hussein
We endured more than twenty concentration camps
When you swim underwater you hold your breath
To build a wall, we hold the bricks
Those who don't smoke endure the smell of cigarettes.
We put up with Monsanto infecting our food
We endure Agent Orange and pesticides
When we sail, we endure seasickness
We endure minimum wage and unemployment
We endured the Malvinas and the British invasion
In the city of Pompeii we endured volcanic lava
And within the logic of our humanity
We believe the lie and no one can endure the truth
For what was and for what could be
For what there is, for what may be missing
For whatever comes and for this moment
Raise the glass and toast to endurance
To toast for endurance
We put up with the atheist, the Mormon, the Christian
To the Buddhist, to the Jew, we put up with the pagan
We put up with the one who sells bullets and the one who shoots them
We endure the death of Lennon, that of Víctor Jara
We endured many wars: Vietnam, the Cold War
The Hundred Years War, the Six Days War
Let them endure the revenge, we come to retaliate
Today our liver can endure whatever the bar invites
For what was and for what could be
For what there is, for what may be missing
For whatever comes and for this moment
To toast for endurance
For what was and for what could be
For what there is, for what may be missing
For whatever comes and for this moment
Raise the glass and toast to endurance
Let's toast to endurance!
