The time for organized response has long passed. Voting Dem won't help much because of the antidemocratic senate, electoral college, and scotus.
But we do have some tactical responses in place like the ACLU and such. They're just not strategic enough. The depth of organization on the right seems to outstrip that of the left, despite the superficial distraction of the altright neoreactionaries and empty-headed 'deplorables'. Orgs like the Federalists have been planning and strategizing for decades while the Enlightenment project languishes in neglect. Those of us NOT actively working on the "how we do that" part bear as much blame for the cruelty as the cruel, themselves. I'm as guilty as any dork, finding it much easier to plunge my head into the sand that is my tiny, largely irrelevant subdomain where I'm warm and comfy. But the dorks need to pull their heads out and work strategically on the political problem staring us in the face. Getting to THAT shared value is a prerequsite to an effective long term strategy.
