(3,447 posts)Fight them by doing the one thing we can. NOT being afraid. Fear is the biggest enemy the human being has. Not globalism (although the current implementation of globalism is designed to create fear as a weapon of destroying communities), not Trumpism, not birthers, not the Supreme Court. Fear.
Because when you're in fear, you can't think properly AT ALL. It's not -physically- possible. You can only look for guidance (a return to the (false) sense of safety and security), and you don't have the discernment under fear to judge using your full capacities. It kills emotional connections, which in turn begin to disrupt the subconscious, which will then begin to manifest its panic through your environment and other forms of self-sabotage.
If you live in a red town in a red state like we both do (Indiana here), the MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do (in my humble opinion of course) is to try to demonstrate NONFEAR as a political act.
"You can't defeat me. You don't even have the capacity to -frighten- me."
