I can remember when it was common to know someone for years without knowing what their politics were. It just never came up or if it did it wasn't a deal breaker in a relationship. There is nothing that requires everyone you know to agree with you on everything or do things the way you want them done. We as a nation have lost sight of this.

What can people do about Trump's prisons? Even if millions stood against them, nothing would change, and, unfortunately, millions stand with them. I think that the US will have to play out whatever role it's chosen for itself. Every nation, every civilization runs it's course until it bottoms out, then begins to rebuild. 1933 happens over and over again. For over 8 decades I have watched the decline of the US. It's hard to stop a boulder rolling downhill. If people keep re-electing the same politicians, from both parities, nothing will change for the better. Look at RFK jr.; millions of people wanted him to become President. Can you imagine what policies he would have enacted? We have gone from the age of enlightenment to the age of insanity. A marriage is between 2 people, a nation is between millions of political entities, each vying for him/herself. Americans have been taught to fear any system that isn't called Democracy, yet the 3 least corrupt countries, according to the World Corruption List, are all Socialist.
