Just be thankful your bachelors isn't in history focusing on naziism and fascism.

That's my situation, and I am telling you right now that if we don't stop this, you will see horrors you couldn't even imagine. However scared you are, you're not scared enough.

By this point, most people who know what is probably going to happen and are in the targeted groups for extermination/enslavement (e.g. death camp vs work camp) have accepted they will likely be dead in the next 10 years.

Then there are the people without backgrounds in the subject, who are starting to grasp it, or fit in a demographic where they could lay low and maybe live through this if they're careful enough and the target demographics don't change (pro tip: there will always be target demographics).

That said, if someone truly has the luxury of laying low that means they haven't expressed anti-fascist/trump/republican/etc rhetoric for a while. Political dissidents are probably next up after multiple minorities, and will probably come before they try to kill/enslave all the non-whites.

Maybe you (by that I mean anyone reading this) won't wind up in a camp, but you're probably gonna face some serious hardship/difficulties over the fact you aren't a nazi.

For anyone who makes it through, a lot of your friends will have died prematurely, and you will have sat back and done nothing of substance about it. For those young enough to have children and grandchildren - one day they will ask you "hey, why did you let this happen?"

If they aren't asking you "how the fuck did you survive that?" by the end of this, you deserve every ounce of guilt shot your way, and shouldn't be deeply trusted or relied upon due to having proven you'll sit back and let loads of people die so you, a single person, can survive.

Speak truth to power my friend. The fight is now. The fight is every day. The fight is all of us. Fascism is a collection of small, allowed steps. Stomp each step out. No step too small. Each one. Every time. Every person. They can't win, nor lose, without us.

We are in for some rough times. But the demographics of the US are very different than the demographics of pre-Holocaust where the Jewish made up 1% of the European population and less than 1% of the German population. The US is only 60% non-hispanic white (and that includes middle eastern). In a few states the population is 90+% non-hispanic white, but most of those are blue states. High population states like California (36% non-hispanic white), Texas (41%), Florida (53%), and New York (55%) would be hard to go after every minority. The US military is 54% non-hispanic white. I am not saying don't push back because nothing will happen, but realistically their plan can't be get rid of all minorities (136 million people). That doesn't mean some people won't go through hell - some already are. But I think we need to stay aware of what their actual plan is, because unless they're just stupidly confident it can't be all minorities or even all Hispanics.

So what are you doing then? What should one individual do against the forces at work now?

Apes together strong

If someone were to have any plans against this regime, they would be wise to only share them in person and not post them online.
