Democrats also push right. You're seeing that in full swing with Biden.

I recommend installing a Linux distribution that requires a hands-in approach like Gentoo or Linux from scratch. If you don't have an extra computer you can do it on a virtual machine on the computer you do have.

The process will require you to use the various incantations and rituals of using the terminal. As you do so, learn what they do by googling them or using their man page.

For more practice, write a shell script or otherwise choose a task you want to do using the terminal like browsing through your files or searching for a file whose name matches a pattern and so on.

You can't degoogle without using a ROM that degoogles. Google has built itself into the Android operating system by default and replacing it is non-trivial, like using a ROM with microG.

As another commenter mentioned, though, you can partially degoogle in other ways.

Finally someone is standing up to the woke mob. Thank you, WB conglomerate! You are the true underdog.

It will probably be most effective to build locally: get plugged in on local labor fights and help build solidarity funds. Solidarity funds for small groups of workers are usually just cash funds managed by the workers themselves with zero administrative overhead.

Some of them might not even have a fund and you can help them out by starting one. Tabling at local events for their fund and recruiting others and so on. You'll amplify your impact a lot by fundraising from others and getting more people involved.

Gentoo is good for learning. It's not really a privacy or security-focused distribution per se. It promotes you being comfortable with the command line, configuration files, networking, unix-ie things, and of course compiling programs. If you're tired of the compiling there is basically no downside to switching to Arch as a "one step up" distribution.

This article is also a form of advertisement and self-promotion, though it does have a point about the proliferation of absolute garbage "review" and "ranking" pages you get whenever you try to figure out which doodad to chuck money at.
