by Daniel Hunter
The key to taking effective action in a Trump world is to avoid perpetuating the autocrats goals of fear, isolation, exhaustion and disorientation.
Its important we squarely face Trumps victory and what there is to do about it.
Trump has already signaled the kind of president he will be: revengeful, uncontrolled and unburdened by past norms and current laws. I wont go through the litany of awful things hes pledged to do, since thats been well-established with his words, Project 2025 plans and excellent analyses from authoritarian experts.
Looking into an even more destabilized future is not easy. If youre like me, youre already tired. The prospect of more drama is daunting. But authoritarianism isnt going away no matter the election results. So heres some thinking about ways to orient so we can ground ourselves better for these times ahead.
