1. Leave, if possible. Most cannot.
2. Blend in, if possible. Many cannot.
3. Hide, if possible. Difficult, maybe impossible for most.
4. Resist. Most will not.

Options that are no longer available or are no longer effective:

1. Speaking truth to power
2. Boycotts
3. Winning elections
4. Lawsuits
