Just be a part of a group who are trying. That's it. Nobody needs to action hero a solution with a fist fight finale.

Americans do not take the situation seriously. They either think they have no power to personally fix it, so contributing to any effort is pointless, or that it's just more of the same politics as before and can't tell the difference. They are encouraged to stay out of the way because they are the only force that seems to be capable of stopping it at this point.

Once Trump and the GOP destroy the framework of power the constitution defines, there are no rules anymore, only power, and the constitution really does mean nothing. The relationship America built with the world since WW1 will be over and won't return as democratic nations can not remain interdependent with a fascist America. America will be another authoritarian regime using violence as the solution to every problem, including domestic problems. Those problems will only increase because an authoritarian leadership is functionally incapable of managing a non-authoritarian system. America will transition, painfully and violently, to a fascist state and the dream that was America will be dead. All at the hands of a TV show personality and the generations raised by TV, which is both sad and painfully American.

Edit: Not enough Americans...

Land is a water filter so...makes sense.

It's like an arms race of political ideology, picking the nuclear option.

Another one bites the dust. Goodbye democracy.

There is no way to know what paths will be left available once LLM integration starts to prove effective or in what roles. History shows very clearly that the powerful do not care if the peasantry suffers and dies because of the changes they force on the world. They care primarily, and often exclusively, for their own ambitions.

If we are unnecessary for those ambitions, our welfare is not considered at all. Our only value to them has been our labour and without that value we are all under threat of being denied access to any resources at all, including those necessary to stay alive, including the resource of physical space, which land ownership allows them to deny us.

It will never happen.

Does the cousin have a campaign to pay his bribe so he doesn't die, too?

Then provide me a reasonable means of providing myself the means to keep existing, maybe get a dog.

They aren't ready against any major power, Europe, US or China.

All indicators suggests their logistics and resource management is under serious strain. They do not have the industrial output to take Ukraine in 4 years, let alone all of a United Europe and it's allies.
