For all the good it could do, I's suggest starting with local elections. Undo at the most local level the damage coming from the top. Work to shore up protections within communities. Beyond that, it's just stay focussed on the shitshow coming to your area and do what you can for yourself and your neighbors. Then vote like your life depends on it.
The end "I don't know" was a bit tongue in cheek, but you're right, local is where it really begins, and affects you most. Plus you have far more effect with local reps, as you can actually face to face question, and thank, what they do.
