The coming administration / dictatorship is vindictive and violent.
It is my thinking that yes, there will be protests, etc. (as there should be).
All I'm thinking is that the model should be guerilla action. That's all.

Yes. "XRW" is shorthand for "Extreme Right Wing."
Yes, their infiltration into all cultural areas has been instrumental in the rise of the XRW and the suppression of (reasonable, rational) center Left and Left ideas*.
I'm thinking strategically & in layers here: Where there are already fact-based / pro-democracy orgs in the public sphere, we support those.
Other organizing should be more discreet in order to support longevity & the successful execution of planning.
This is how the XRW has organized for the last 45-years at the highest reaches.
The strategize off line and execute online and within the power structures they've infiltrated.
Sure, the thugs: Proud Boys, et al. have used it & so have been monitored by anti-fash groups that have repeatedly spiked their grand plans of intimidation.
We must be smarter, cleverer, and much more sly than the XRW now -- at all levels.
The fash will lean on social media platforms to suspend such communications.
I point to all Meta properties' draconian anti-democratic suppression of speech over the last year or two.
I also point to basic practical ways to protect ourselves from that surveillance.
So, use SIGNAL, THREEMA, and SESSION as options to separate organizing / political speech, family, and work.
Start now. Our defiance should be in the meat-space world based on discretion in the online world.
And do this all off social media if possible, as the nation is likely to experience the installation of a Stasi-like citizen surveillance on top of the government and marketing surveillance.
Protect your information and the people who will look for it.
While there will be violent squads on the street, there will also be infiltrators and folks will be detained for the smallest of reasons.
