Fair question. It’s easy for me to make suggestions because I’m on the other side of the world. My day to day is tough and overlaying everything I already need to do with suggestions like “move to another country” is just insensitive to the point of being offensive. That said …
Plan to move to another country. It’s possible or likely that you’re unable to, but would would need to happen for you to be able to move in, say, 10 years time. What’s the first step in that direction. It probably involves researching what skills you need to have to land jobs in other countries. There’s a bunch of professions for which companies will arrange visas for skilled employees.
Connect with your community. Be part of community groups, connect with people, know peoples names and make small talk when you bump into them. Get to know people in your street, do nice things for them, take the bins in for them. Et cetera. Fascism and other far-right nuttiness is thriving in todays world of isolated, lonely people. Strong communities are the antidote to the hatred and anger that supports fascism.
Finally, vote and help others do so. Make a plan for what you need to do on the day. Assist others with their own plans.
It’s not a fair question at all. What he’s really asking is “what can I do that makes me feel good about myself but also requires zero risk or sacrifice?”
He’s not only useless, he’s part of the US’s problem
Very American of you. Sure- spend a couple centuries beating your chests and being shitty about how you’re EXCEPTIONALLY good at handling tyrants and then cower and ask other countries’ people to step up and take care of things for you because you’re too cowardly/lazy/comfortable… yes, pretty on-brand, and what the rest of us have suspected for some time.
The fact that you think Trump is the problem and not the 30% of your citizens embodying the absolute rot at the cwnter of your culture tells me all I need to know about you

So now I’m in charge of a million people?! Should really let me know a little sooner next time and maybe I can actually do something about it.
