Most of us agree so now what are we going to do about it and can we do anything?
The most effective way to do anything about the direction that our country is taking is to be engaged. I've said this before: socialism dies in the light of information.
If you're talking with family, friends, or acquaintances and someone starts talking about how horrible the country is and how wonderful it would be if we just embraced X socialist policy; challenge them. Not in an aggressive way, but in a thoughtful way. Ask them to fully articulate why they feel that way and how X will better the country (chances are they can't). And then rebut with why you don't feel that way. Most people who are out there parroting AOCesq talking point don't really know what they are saying and when confronted with an opposing view are incapable of defending their positions. You may not change their minds in one conversation (and please, keep it a conversation, arguments only embolden extremism), but they will be surprised that someone pushed back and that will make them think twice later on.
Next, contact your elected officials. Worried about CRT and Activist-Civics being taught to kids in school? Write to your School Board member, state representative and state senator. Let them know your concerns in detail and ask them what they are going to do to prevent these patently un-American ideologies from being taught in school. Again, be pleasant and non-confrontational; but firm. Follow up if you don't hear back in a week or so. Show up to public meetings and voice your concern. Sign up to be a speaker, wait your turn and speak coherently and with conviction. Don't be a tard and just start screaming "remember this day" or some nonsense.
Get involved with local and national organizations that are fighting for what you want. Donate money and more importantly time. Most of these groups are vastly out funded and manned by those they oppose.
Run for office. I'm not kidding. You live in Bicknell? Run for the town council. Sure, Bicknell isn't a hotspot for crazy left wing culture, but you being on the town council a) keeps that from happening b) gives you a greater access to county and state officials to express the concerns of your constituents.
Finally, vote! We still live in a representative democracy and your number one way to express your opinion is to go to the polls. Sure, who you vote for for President in Utah might not make an iota of difference nationally, but who you vote for school board makes a huge difference locally.
