        All you can do is try. One conversation at a time, one step at a time. Don’t give into despair, that’s what the fascists want you to do.

          And remember the bystanders, the people listening but not participating. Especially the teenagers and young adults. Some of them may be coming from an environment where everyone around them spouts propaganda. You may be the first true voice of reason that they have ever heard.

          You never know when you will help someone not only recognize that there’s a net wrapped around them, but also that it’s possible to escape between the knots.
