At the end of this video, Rosa Brooks says:
"The final thing — and this is kind of depressing — this isn't about stopping it. This is about if you shift your mindset to thinking: If you live in Russia and you know Putin's coming down the road, you live in Hungary and you know Orban's coming down the road, what would you do to ensure that if you have to get through a period that could be four years, could be 20 years, could be 40 years of autocracy, that that little flame of democracy is not extinguished, you know? You want to set up the networks that can ensure people have cyber protection and legal assistance and potential physical protection if they need it, and communications help and so on. And you need to do that in advance, because if you wait until everybody is sort of isolated and alone, it's probably too late to do it. ... [a Trump administration] could be a while and a bad while, but there is a lot we can do to kind of protect the people and organizations and communities that he's likely to target during that time, if we start now."
