I hope you’re right! I’m too old to emigrate! So if this nightmare comes to pass, I recommend downloading “From Dictatorship to Democracy” by Gene Sharp along with the anthology “Gandhi on Nonviolence” edited by Thomas Merton. Form study groups (under the radar) with trusted friends to read and discuss these and other texts on nonviolent resistance (Satyagraha) and get to work building a democracy movement that is mindful, strategic, and relentless. (MLK and Nelson Mandela should also be on your group’s reading list!)
