Educate yourself.

Will these books stop what Trump is doing? Ok, let me go to my local library straight away!

I don't hold a high government office.

I don't lead a military that can compete with that of the USA.

I only have philosophy and history to offer in these times.

Power is not intrinsic to rulers. Gene Sharp says that the sources of the ruler's power 'depend intimately upon the obedience and cooperation of the subjects'.

I'm not sure what you are implying should be done. But we have to start somewhere.

I'm implying that Trump and his supporters don't give a shit about your books, or your protests, or your philosophy.

the ruler's power 'depend intimately upon the obedience and cooperation of the subjects'.

And Trump's US subjects are obedient and cooperating with his maligned agenda. They're simply going to laugh at your protests.

Maybe, but I'll never comply with a fascist. I would rather choose death over giving them the smallest degree of legitimacy.

And if more Americans felt the same way, we could start a movement that could remove the regime.

If only one person reads one of the books I posted, it's a step in the right direction.

If that where true, you wouldn't choose passivity.
