What could I do,to prepare

For the insanity to come?

I have very limited funds,disabled and pissed off.

What do I need to get and prepare to fight or help others as trump tries to take over the cities with his fascist goons?

I don't know where to start. But I want to help the people who do not want fascism..

There are good people in government and all is not lost yet.

No one wants fascism, at least those of us here at DU and most everyone on the left. A considerable portion of the right do not want fascism either. So far this appears to be a test to see if they can get away with it.

With limited funds and being disabled the best thing you can do is to remain safe and be a voice of reason and support like you are here on DU.

Other than keeping yourself safe, I don't know what to tell you. I'd hate to advise you to arm yourself or go out and fight as there are others ready and willing and already on the front lines fighting.

Stay safe.

Always focus on voting. Letting others diminish its importance or confidence in it in your mind allows the extremists to win.
