Hey, fellow white Americans:
If you're wondering, "What now?" Think about how Black Americans have survived in the US, especially pre Civil Rights Act era.
If you're thinking about the post Civil Rights Act era, you are not going back far enough.
To be honest, it might be best to think about how Black women in particular survived. Or how women in general survived pre Roe and pre no-fault divorce.
You need networks of trustworthy friends and relations and allies who help each other without bringing attention to that fact and as untraceably as feasible.
People to be suspicious/careful around:
People who voted for Trump
People who didn't vote for Harris
People who don't understand what is happening now
They may mean well. They may be decent people in every other aspect of their lives.
But if they screw you over unintentionally - you are still just as screwed.
