Some of us have been here before. Many people living today in
America and around the world have direct experience with countries
where an autocrat has seized control. Others have seen charismatic,
populist leaders come to power within democracies and dramatically
change the rules of the road for the public, activists, and
journalists alike. In Rules for Resistance, writers from Russia,
Turkey, India, Hungary, Chile, China, Canada, Italy, and elsewhere
tell Americans what to expect under our own new regime, and give us
guidance for living-and for resisting-in the Trump era. Advice
includes being on the watch for the prosecution of political
opponents, the use of libel laws to attack critics, the gutting of
non-partisan institutions, and the selective application of the
law. A special section on the challenges for journalists reporting
on and under a leader like Donald Trump addresses issues of free
speech, the importance of press protections, and the critical role
of investigative journalists in an increasingly closed society. An
introduction by ACLU legal director David Cole looks at the crucial
role institutions have in preserving democracy and resisting
autocracy. A chilling but necessary collection, Rules for
Resistance distills the collective knowledge and wisdom of those
who "have seen this video before."
