Yesterday I also had some lengthy discussions with people who know better about American politics and International politics, and I would to share those points.

We are not them. It's okay to sympathize, but never insert yourself into them.
2) Do not use their slogans. It's their making, not ours. And borrowing theirs put a negative connotation.

Learn, and learn more. And when you know more, speak up.

Sri Abhay Charanaravinda Bhaktivedanta Swami ji did this through ISKCON. Swami Vivekananda ji did this at the Parliament of World's Religions in Chicago. They didn't have social media, but they became our voices through sheer willpower and thirst for knowledge.
Today, we Hindus have the power of social media. Learn more about different political structures around the world, make educated opinions.
Be opinionated. Be unapologetic.
