Where there are few other declared Democrats around and none except me are willing to stick their neck out for a meet-up, write letters to the editors of every newspaper you can find that will publish them. That's the most widely read section of many papers, especially the ones that lack a comics page! Use social media, too, as much as you can. Subscribe to the newsletters of good Democrats and sign petitions for your causes until your fingers are ready to fall off.
Often it's hard to tell if you're changing any minds, and plenty of people will castigate if not outright threaten you, but I tend to take the latter result as encouragement. At least you know you're hitting sore spots.
For instance today I read this week's paper which carried a screeching response to what I wrote for last week's edition. The guy didn't call me by name, but he started off complaining about Democrats' alleged lies and then proceeded to shovel so much manure of his own that the very page stank to high heaven. I'm pleased to report that among his other infuriated 'rebuttals' to everything I'd written, he called everyone in our party LYING HYENAS OF SOCIALISM. Oh, and I almost forgot; he called us lazy and greedy, too.
Well! I guess that showed me! I'll run to cover right now and never spread my socialist lies around here again! 
And people wonder why I stay home the day after elections! I AM afraid one of those pitched beer bottles might find their mark one day. And I'd probably strut a little with a smug grin on my face. So it's best to stay home the day after and celebrate in private. Heck, I don't even go to church the following Sunday for fear of setting off a riot. These people are touchy, touchy!
