We know that Trump is an ignorant man who thinks he's been appointed emperor.
We know that the Republican Party doesn't give a rat's ass about our Constitution.
We know that they control most of the levers of power at the federal and state levels.
We know that the next four years will be a nightmare.
We know that they may pass laws/rules/regulations that let's them to hang onto power for the foreseeable future. (No more elections?)
We know that they don't care whether people live or die, as long as they can keep their privileges/wealth/perks/power.
We know that the terms "conscience," "decency," "morality," have no meaning to them.
We know that life is about to become more difficult for women, minorities, the sick and needy, and everyone who has no means to protect themselves from the horrible beasts who will, in two weeks, control everything that protects us from oppression.
We know that we have limited means to fight them.
We know that we are probably, (as we said in the military), FUBAR (Fucked Up Beyond All Repair).
We know that they are the antithesis of everything we believe in.
And many, if not most of us, will refuse to just lay down and die.
So there's really just one enormous question: What are we going to do about it?
On edit: I really don't believe that marches, protests, letters to congress, passive resistance, and all the other tactics that have been used in the past will work this time around. This isn't Gandhi facing the British Empire, or Martin Luther King fighting Jim Crow. This is a country that has been usurped by barbarians who have no pity or mercy. These are dangerous people who don't live by any of the "rules" of a civilized society.
