3. Plan for the worst. Assume that in four years Trump (or successor) is in office and the legislature and courts are impotent. Do you escape? Resist? Revolt? What do you need to make that effective? Now is the time to get them in place. Before it's too late.

We may be passed the point of no return. Judges and opposition leaders are being arrested for resisting unconstitutional policies. The media and courts are bought by billionaires. The military is patrolling the streets of the capitol.

A fascism preparedness plan should look something like:

1. Vote blue up and down the ballot, and convince others to do so too. The best-case is preempting fascism from fully taking hold, and that means electing the viable opposition party regardless of how flawed you find them.

2. Recognize that point 1 is very likely insufficient. To my knowledge, there has never been the case of voting out authoritarians once they reach the stage of concentration camps and military in the streets.

Disaster plans save lives.

If you live in an area prone to tornadoes or hurricanes or fires, you probably have a plan of where to go and materials ready in case of emergency.

It's passed time everyone in the US had a preparedness plan for fascism for those same reasons.
