We actually have power, we need to organize it. That half of America that doesn't ever bother to vote can be tapped into because Trump is a horror.
I have an ARNP friend who is busy providing IUDs for women, there are already organizations that provide underground abortions and birth control-- they are about to get busier. I live in Seattle--a city that loves protests--the organizers group city to city, and although the protests have died down, they are getting their second wind. Thank God for Black Lives Matter--they have a strong ground game and kids from my neighborhood middle and high schools were chanting "Black Lives Matter" ---that the BLM message has reached the children is profound. We have Muslims in every walk of life and they will exert influence as well.
They is a groundswell of resistance, I missed the sixties and times like that will not come again, but we may see something similar. Everyone of decent intent and heart is pissed off to some degree. From the Sierra club to the ACLU--we are NOT alone. And yeah, it's going to be rough, but progressives aren't sitting around hugging trees and picking flowers. We have always resisted, violently OR non-violently--something that's about to be rediscovered
