With Trump returning, it's time to prepare:
- Civil servants should get ahead of Trump’s unqualified appointees.
- Protesters need to watch for infiltrators who could incite violence.
- Trump will create fake threats to keep his base loyal and push extreme policies.
- Expect him to focus on tax cuts for the rich, military spending, and backing Israeli policies.
- Progressive groups must organize across all government branches to fight back.

Expect nonviolent protest to be ignored until it becomes impossible to ignore, then be attacked by cops no matter what the protesters are doing. EVERY protest should have a defense/emergency escape plan. Also there is a lot of value in having a physical direct action crew on standby that deploys to strike countervalue targets if and only if the peaceful protest is attacked by cops.
Also have plans for dealing with violent Fascists who do NOT have badges: Trump is letting all those J6 Proud Boys out of Prison on Jan 20 itself. They probably cannot get from the prison gates to same-day Inauguration protests in time, but those who have already finished their sentences will know they now have a free hand.
A note on infiltrators: in my experience they will throw stuff if the cops have the advantage but beg for nonviolence if protesters get the edge over the cops.
