Trump may be angry about the great wave against him and behave wildly. Yet, it should prompt more efforts to advance democracy, diversity, and equity. Actions at the local level to advance those goals are good. Also, actions in support of existing organizations defending democracy are needed.
Dangerous Time?
The great wave of Democratic votes in the last election will naturally embolden many people who have been resisting the many autocratic, cruel, and ignorant actions taken by Trump. But it may also prompt Trump to be even more revengeful. See next post about advancing democracy now.

JUST IN: Chris Murphy Breaks Down Each Step Of Trump's 'Authoritarian Takeover'

This analysis, by Senator Chris Murphy, of the grave move already taken in America away from democracy, is excellent and convincing. It deserves watching and acting to recover the democracy that is being destroyed.

Adolf Hitler repeatedly and virulently demonized and targeted "enemies within" Germany.
I wonder if President Trump knows that or he does not.

This bizarre , nonsensical, self glorification speech at UN was largely ignored in American media. This is scary.

Trump and Trumpism are doomed. More and more Americans are being harmed and offended by his conduct. Better alternatives are increasingly evident.

Decrying Trump's dictatorial, self-indulging actions is useful, but not enough. Counter actions must be made and celebrated. For example, some local communities manage to sustain programs to generate energy from the sun or wind.

Evidence has proven that solar and wind applications can provide energy cheaply and counter global warming. So President Biden established many green projects. Trump is overturning them, yielding money to oil companies and diminishing Biden.
See on Google: Trump cuts solar energy projects.

Trump loved the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, when he first was president. He was proud of his love, while Kim Jong-un speedily developed nuclear weapons.
Strangely, Trump admires tyrants like Putin and Kim Jon-n and wants them to like him. Committing assassinations is really admirable.

A Netflix documentary reports on the many times a nuclear war between the US and USSR almost erupted, scary. Also the many CIA interventions abroad are noted --and they were terrible failures, ETC.

The National Climate Assessment (NCA) has been congressionally mandated to make reports that show how climate change threatens Americans’ health. But now NASA will not issue such. reports The Trump administration dismantled the globalchange.gov portal. Protest to restore those reports.
The large vote for Zohran Mamdani for Mayor of New York city spurs cooperation between progressive Jewish Zionists and supporters of non-Jews who support a Palestinian state and a Jewish state along each other. For example, check out the J-Street organization on the internet.

The Democrats say "We won't go back." but that's not enough. We should be about the future.
There is a future for cheap energy and food in the oceans!
