Fighting authoritarianism requires more than outrage—it demands tactical, sustained resistance that keeps the opposition off balance while providing a compelling vision for the future. The time to organize is now.

Prepare for Retaliation and Repression Train activists in digital security and resistance to surveillance. Develop legal defense funds for targeted individuals. Ensure protestors and organizers have mutual aid networks for safety and support.

Provide a Clear Alternative Vision Develop and promote policy solutions that address economic and social grievances. Rally behind credible, electable leaders who can replace authoritarian figures. Build independent, citizen-led institutions to counterbalance failing government structures.

Maintain Escalating Direct Action Shift from protests to targeted economic and political disruption (boycotts, strikes, mass resignations). Organize mass civil disobedience in key locations. Sabotage authoritarian narratives by exposing internal dissent and fractures.

Mobilize Local Communities Strengthen grassroots organizing through town halls, local networks, and mutual aid. Train new activists in civil disobedience, media outreach, and policy advocacy. Run for local offices and infiltrate power structures to dismantle them from within.

Disrupt and Overwhelm the System Constantly pressure politicians through calls, protests, and community actions. Organize legal challenges against unconstitutional policies. Expose corporate complicity in funding or enabling authoritarianism.
comment in response to post
Leverage Media and Messaging Use ridicule and humor to delegitimize authoritarian figures. Flood social media with counter-narratives to disrupt propaganda. Create viral content exposing hypocrisy and corruption.

Organizing Americans to Resist Authoritarianism Build a United Front Organize coalitions across progressive, moderate, and disaffected conservative groups. Focus on shared goals: protecting democracy, civil rights, economic justice. Use clear, simple messaging that resonates with the majority.

Rule 13 Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Identify key figures enabling authoritarianism and hold them accountable—turn public opinion against them personally, making them liabilities to their own side.
comment in response to post
Rule 12 The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Protests alone aren’t enough—offer clear policies, solutions, and leaders people can rally behind.
comment in response to post
Rule 11 If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive. Expose corruption so thoroughly that even its supporters must distance themselves.

Rule 10 The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain constant pressure upon the opposition. Build sustained movements rather than one-time protests—consistency is key.

Rule 9 The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. Create uncertainty and unpredictability—make authoritarians constantly react rather than control the narrative.
comment in response to post
Rule 8 Keep the pressure on. Never let up. Constant, multi-front pressure forces mistakes and weakens the opposition.
comment in response to post
Rule 7 A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Evolve strategies—keep protests, messaging, and actions fresh to maintain energy and media attention.
comment in response to post
Rule 6 A good tactic is one your people enjoy. Sustained action requires motivation—use humor, music, storytelling, and community-driven activities to keep people engaged.
comment in response to post
Rule 5 Ridicule is human’s most potent weapon. Mock authoritarian figures mercilessly—tyrants fear being laughed at more than being opposed.
comment in response to post
Rule 4 Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. Hold them accountable using their own stated values—demand “law and order” be applied to them, expose their hypocrisy on democracy and justice.
comment in response to post
Rule 3 Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Force authoritarians into debates and confrontations where they are weak—highlight their hypocrisy, contradictions, and incompetence.
comment in response to post
Rule 2 Never go outside the expertise of your people. Stay focused on issues people understand and can rally around—don’t let the movement get bogged down in complex, inaccessible messaging.
comment in response to post
Rule 1 Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have. Leverage perception to create influence—mobilized communities appear stronger and more unified than they may actually be.

It would be nice if a certain group of Democrats had the same bravery but enabled the coup. They are traitors just as much as Chump. Down with them all!!
comment in response to post
Yes of course the cowardly traitor would!

Our government is in the middle of a coup and you have been bought off by Chump. Piss off traitor.
