If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

you don’t have to engage in the gaslighting. simply say ‘it was a nazi salute’ and refuse to engage in the preposterous claim that he was ‘throwing his heart to the crowd’ or whatever
it was a nazi salute. the ppl claiming otherwise know it was too. you don’t need to spend the day arguing with them
