Steve Bannon finished his speech with another Nazi salute, and these people lap it up. It's time for the remnants of the USA to start actually fighting these fascists. Trump just put loyalists in charge of the military, so resistance needs to start now if it's going to start at all.
I'm Canadian and it would be really nice if Americans would start to fight back before Trump's military invades us.
Realistically, Trump is gearing up for a ‘Reichstag Fire’ moment in which he will blame antifa leftists and justify implementing martial law and a police state to suppress any attempts at protest or resistance. Because even a George Floyd sized protest can be squashed.
A few things need to happen simultaneously.
There has to be a schism within the military if we have a chance, but Trump is making sure the only people left are true believers who will fall in line.
Local grassroots resistance movements that practice mutual aid and direct action.
Foreign military/militias aiding these grassroots movements via trade networks. This last one will be mighty difficult and will require people who have access to such channels to begin with (ports, borders, etc.)
