In the end there is not much we as individuals can do to change anything that happens at the national level, so maybe the best course is to keep our own sense of honor and morals (and sense of humor) as best we can.
I'm calling defeatist bullcrap on the bolded, sister.

It doesn't matter what you say, you're going to get a blast of shit regardless.

While your initial statement may "appear" to be innocuous, it is obvious to the tolerant mind that you are not only insulting everyone's intelligence, advocating for the return of slavery, but attempting to disguise your true meaning under the cloak of being reasonable.

Hell, even a blind man can see that.

Hey, I'm the one everyone loves to hate.

You don't think I'm going to let you knock me from my perch that easily, do you?

Now, Chas, I never figured that you would be the one to brag.

I awoke at 3:30 AM, typed a bid, organized my calendar for the day...and still had time to come over here and pick a fight.

I think I deserve to be proud of myself.
