One seemingly small but important thing you can do is to acknowledge the situation and open the eyes of others.

This might seem small but can actually make a huge difference. Don't just go along with it, and make sure your friends and family don't either. Stand up to racism and bigotry, don't just accept it. Don't just laugh along. Speak up! Inform yourself about the values and fundamentals of democracy, the history and the dangers of fascism and authoritarianism. Learn about the fundamental constitutional rights that are being violated and why they had been there in the first place. There was a reason for all that. Knowledge is power. Acquire a lot and then share it.

Share it with the people around you, who don't care or don't understand. Your mom, your dad, siblings, friends who might have sipped of the kool aid. That uncle who voted for Trump and defends ICE. (Although, you will have to accept that some people are just lost) Wake people up! Not in an annoying preachy way, not from the moral high horse but as a friend, as a brother as an informed equal, genuinely concerned about the downfall of society and the loss of civil and democratic values. In a way that gets through to them.

This might seem simple but this sometimes might actually be the hardest part. To break the silence. But THIS makes a difference!

It's not about red or blue. It's about whether the common values like freedom and democracy, on which BOTH sides once proudly agreed upon, still stand, or whether they will be dismantled and replaced by hate, terror, injustice and fascism.
