Some steps to consider
1. Don’t go offline or in camp out some little right-wing ghetto app (ie Parler). Stay active on the main platforms.
But expand & “back up” your online network “offline.” Big Tech will cancel, censor, and silence anyone that speaks against the zeitgeist.

2. Build an analog library (or download files) of important books, documents, music, etc.
Big Tech will delete works that undermine their plans and speaks against the zeitgeist.
You can't fight a culture war without a culture. Don't let them delete it.

3. Find a community that is a “winnable and worthwhile hill.” This is a place that is small enough for you to have influence, large/strategic enough to have some cultural, economic, and/or political significance.
Ask “Could this town/county become a city-state? Put down roots.

4. Get to know your neighbors. Share meals, build trust, and learn to enjoy each other. And then look for ways to improve your community that builds a coalition around the common good. Make yourself a central part of that work.
In other words, be a community leader.

5. Buy local whenever possible and reasonable. Open business in your town. Buy and rehab old buildings on "main street." Encourage others to do the same.
Strengthen the local economy and make it attractive to likeminded people.

6. Run for any and all local offices and encourage all likeminded community members to do likewise.
You want your neighbors (the ones you've grown tight with) to be the depart of health official, the sheriff, head of polling, etc.

7. Belong to a church in your actual community. Be willing to compromise on some secondary issues if it means being more at a local congregation. If there isn't a single good church, help one get started.
Work, play, and worship together. Get deeply invested locally.
