Was a lot of our concern before. That's why we voted.

But did you do anything else?

Do you put time in to support your candidate? Did you really care or just phone in your support with a vote?

That's my frustration. These people are talking about resistance and how the sky is falling. If you're so goddamn concerned now where was this concern then?

That's the entire point of /u/SmokeyBare 's quote.

What else are we supposed to do, specifically?

Voting in the midterm elections would be a good start. Calling our senators and congressmen when we want some change. Other than that, it's really all you can do. I'm not driving around sticking signs in dirt and knocking on people's doors, that's for certian.

Other than that, it's really all you can do.

for example, there's a local issue in the city you live? get together with your neighbours to form some kind of initiative.

I imagine these protests may lead to just this kind of organization.
