23. We are.

We are the only ones who can. I'm not talking about political parties. They are (or should be) irrelevant to this fight. It is all hands on deck, whatever their personal ideology.

Keep mocking Trump, keep egging him on on Twitter, keep posting all the secret dossiers showing him to be a sleaze and maybe a traitor. Protesting his every move. He HATES that. He hates it so much, he will have a meltdown in public somewhere (I hope), maybe even at the inauguration.

We do have to be careful, especially the protesters. He might use the military or National Guard to really hurt people, although they can refuse to obey an unlawful order like that (but I don't know if they will). Any pictures of such an attack, however, will thoroughly discredit the Trump administration. I'm not advocating people putting their lives at risk of they do not want to, but it will serve the greater good, ultimately.
