Anything but “something.” I say this a lot but, specific outcomes should dictate actions, not specific desires. I can totally make a lifesize cheeto sculpture of Trump, but just because I want to stop him by subjecting him to withering parody, it doesn’t mean I will. Functionally jamming the gears of treadmill immigration courts is much more practical, but requires coordination and careful strategy. There are many ways to go about it, but unfortunately most people want to go to a protest and go home, or break stuff and go home. Telling someone that they are going to have to devote more than an afternoon requires a social support structure.
Most people don’t have the resources or the vital human contacts to engage in effective activism, and are limited to the choices set before them by well-publicized actions like demonstrations and elections. Americans have a really limited imagination, where the most visible forms of public activism are also the most structurally benign. None of this is to say don’t vote or demonstrate, but more to your question: Asking people what they’ll do is kind of putting the cart before the horse if they don’t have a clue who they’ll do it with.
