So, what, if anything, can you do about it?” Reid started her present Monday. “For one thing, you can try to learn from history, from what people in this situation, in countries around the world and in America have done before. As my friend Rachel Maddow always says, history is here to help.”
“The first rule is to fight back, to never stop resisting. Do not obey in advance, as [anti-Trump historian] Tim Snyder put it… Even if it’s scary or uncomfortable or inconvenient, just keep saying no. Or finding creative ways to say no in small ways and large,” she later stated.
