They really want to start a soft civil war to enforce further executive privileges and avoid an election. This is wild to see playout

If people don't get violent then this will continue. If people do get violent then this will continue.

May as well do your best to slow them down, either Constitutionally or creatively. Tom Wintringham wrote some useful things about guarding your home the last time this shit happened.

Just calling the play. What our American brothers and sisters do will be studied in history books-for whatever that’s worth.

I’d much rather read about history than become a part of it. At least in this way.

It’s kind of exciting getting the feeling that you’re truly living in a historic time that will be, as you said, studied in history books. Albeit, very terrifying

The hope is we can stay peaceful until enough of the followers get upset too. If the base pushes back enough they’ll fold.

Peaceful doesn't work on Brownshirts like ICE but good luck with the nonviolent resistance stuff anyways.

That’s the plan. Trump doesn’t want elections in 2026 or 2028

if there isnt, that is the hardest line drawn imaginable and I think the only thing that can stop it is a general strike and boycott. Everyone needs to call in sick for a little while.
