13. Don't know what it will be, but think it SHOULD include

massive voter registration drives and more massive voter turnouts in EVERY election
massive protests on the order of Selma '65 and George Floyd protests
massive boycotts of red state businesses, tourism, and events that back right wing agendas.

For example, read an article the other day that discussed the massive amount of money SEC colleges make off of the talent of athletes (many of whom are Black). So, maybe don't play for 'em?? Move to and support HBCU's instead?? Though I'd imagine that's a lot to consider. Just tossing it out there.

But I think my version of the question (and the answers above) shouldn't just be "what should the Black community's reaction be" but "what SHOULD the Democratic Party's and liberals' and progressives' (Blacks whites and others) reaction be?

Because frankly there's been NO demographic (percentage wise) more faithful to the Democratic Party, liberal and progressive, than the Black community, and Black women in particular. So it goes without saying that the fate of the party as a whole,

perhaps of DEMOCRACY ITSELF (instead of a one party AUTOCRACY),

is INEXORABLY linked to Black voter participation and minority representation. So, what will/should WE do?
