You're not talking about civil rights, you're talking about co-opting of the electoral process by a hostile foreign power and we're not going to kum-bay-ya our way out of that.

What people can do is express their anger and spend their money on organizations with more power than they have. I'm now $40 a month into the ACLU, Mother Jones, PBS and 350.org and am a member of my local democratic caucus. But we're not the problem. So what can I do about toothless racists in Alabama? Fuckall. And wait for them to die.

Last I checked, your country was being run by a strongman who murders his opponents. What have you done that led to that and what can you do to make that better?
