"The early stages of this make me think of cancers. The reason they are so difficult to deal with is that, for the most part, the cell populations are not completely disintegrated and non-functional. Most of their systems still function very robustly, which seems to be the cause of different cancers' seemingly producing quite robust phenotypes, even after the putative triggering problem has been knocked out. Those systems have just been re-directed by control signals of the wrong kind."
I know you hate abuse of metaphors, but you started it! Cytotoxic compounds: Remove tax deductions for dependents? How does that happen with a conservative government? Surgery or Radiation: Litigation (ACLU, EFF, SPLC, etc.). Other things but keeping in mind Gandhi's leadership. Immunotherapy: Taking back state legislatures. Fire people up at the local level. Gene therapy: Education, propaganda. Hormone therapy: Take away the money and red meat. Work behind the scenes. Get people at risk out of harm's way. Refocus on work and investments decoupled from government. Small-molecule drugs and monoclonal antibodies: Tease apart the constituencies and identify risks from some of them, e.g. tag the alt-right as Nazis and dangerous. Divide and conquer. Controlling signaling / stopping transport: Stopping fake news
