dear media:
no one needs to hear about the complex inner life and conflicted humanity of Trump supporters, thanks.
at this historic juncture they have precisely one relevant characteristic:
they are fascists
and for society to endure, all fascists must be crushed
There are lots of good step-by-step guides
EFF's is solid: ssd.eff.org
Digital Defense Fund is excellent specifically for abortion related privacy: digitaldefensefund.org/ddf-guides
Wired has a guide: www.wired.com/2017/12/digi...
But the first step is just committing to yourself to take a step

Dr. Fucking Phil is rounding up immigrants on tv because we are living on the inside of a dystopian fucking MadLibs.

Getting a white supremacist realtor fired for racist posts is a great example of "everday antifascism".
"The goal of everyday anti-fascism is to increase the social cost of oppressive behavior to the point where those who promote it see no option but to hide."

i'd even go further and warn people to watch for people who seem to think posting is the most important form of political action, that it only matters if it happens on their chosen social media platform. they're not allies but engagement farmers.

Share the truth:
"They (the opposition party) had fought the election campaign of 1933 in a dreadfully humiliating way, chasing after the Nazi slogans and emphasizing that they were "also nationalist."

"One night, six storm troopers fell on a "dissident" in his bed and literally trampled him to death, for which they were sentenced to death. Hitler sent them a telegram of praise and acknowledgment. Nothing happened. No, something did happen: the murderers were pardoned."
"Each attempt was frustrated and veiled by those endless, useless, vain discussions in which we attempted again and again to fit the events into an obsolete, unsuitable scheme of political ideas."

Studying up:
"the real mystery of the Hitler phenomenon began to show itself: the strange befuddlement and numbness of his opponents, who could not cope with his behavior and found themselves transfixed by the gaze of the basilisk, unable to see that it was hell personified that challenged them. "

It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.
I mean if by "under fire" you mean "not named at all and never facing any consequence," then sure. As a white teacher of black and brown kids, I have heard stories like thia *weekly* for two decades.
