If you live in the city take to the streets.

If you are living in the country, meet at the library.

Just be loud.

There may be a group that protests regularly in your area. Check local Dem Party, Mobilize, Indivisible, or contact friends and start your own regular protest. If there's a local gov't. building in your town, assemble there peacefully at set time/day and be visible. Make big signs, ring cowbells, bang drums, stay off private property, don't block sidewalks, wear hat, sunscreen, dress for weather, take a stool to sit on if you need...you are not alone in how you're feeling.
