"MAGA" has been taken down a peg, so expect everything to start being thrown at us

As Trump's legitimacy continues to drain away, as more and more people refuse to just 'go along' with making the sick psychos of the "alt-right" seem normal, and as more and more people see the Republican control of the government as a result of sham elections, and as the traitorous electoral college members who decided to ignore 65 million people and sell our country out to Putin and people who prefer unemployment and opioids to being "told what to do" by a gay and/or black person realize that justice might come for them if Democrats regain majorities and investigate their corruption; it will mean one thing... The Nazis will throw more and more at us, we will see more violence and hear more 'jokes', more stochastic terrorism, more random violence, etc.

But the violence is just one threat, another threat will be attempts to divide the people who are resisting their agenda. Some things we already see, some things they will really focus on, and some things will be new.

Dividing poor people on terms of race
Dividing the poor and people poorer than them
They'll keep trying to turn Muslim Americans into a bogeyman and a scapegoat
They'll keep trying to separate transgenders from GLBTQ
They'll play sides off against each other
They'll try to revive previous frictions in our own party, we need to realize we can and must resist the Nazis today

Question anything and everything that doesn't focus on the present and the future, that questions our power and victories against the Nazis, that tries to make an equivocation between the Nazis and someone else here today, that conjures up paranoia, that tries to pick apart "that one group" from resisting Nazis and Trump, etc.
