How do we remove the danger? Specifically? Things the average person can do that will actually help.

All the average person can do is tell their representatives at the local and federal level what they expect in exchange for their vote. "Vote Blue no matter who" doesntlead to amy actual change unless you leverage your vote for actual policy changes. MAGA is the open admission of what the GOP has been pushing the last few decades actually realized. Republicans who didn't offer what the base wanted were replaced by people willing to push for that reprehensible agenda. Pressure you representatives to actually protect human rights and replace them if theu won't do it. The people have actual power, progressives have jist been conditioned to not wield ot since that threatens the power structure in Washington.
