The important thing is to be visible, a demonstration outside a government building maybe.
Of course you can't spend all day every day doing that, but take some friends, make some coffee and cakes, and make it a nice event for yourself out of it. If you come at the same time every day, hopefully others will join.
Alternatively if someone is already doing this, join them.
This is how grassroots start, when more people are active, it helps people other places to do the same, and when they communicate through the power of being many, it can become a movement.
Again if somebody is already doing it join, also if you can only spare ½ an hour per day, or even per week.
The power is in numbers, and you need to show you are one of those numbers.
Don't argue against their points, argue your own point, that's what needs to be visible.
Freedom and democracy would be good points IMO. But No to fascism is also a valid point.
Going all in for a month doesn't work, steady for the distance is the winning strategy.
