https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=20190932Looking at history, as some have done above,
It might take a Mike Pence moment, and the best strategy we can take is to relentlessly pound the truth of his betrayal of law, the constitution, the armed forces, government employees, (former) allies and the taxpaying middle class.
I would not expect a mass display of force by any group to bring about change, except by telling truth. I would not expect retaliation by Iran or any victim of his murder by proxy.
Just one of the many who swore to protect and defend the constitution disarming the war that Putin's proxy is waging on America and not taking that oath as a cynical headfake.
Or the South African, to whom his oath of citizenship was indeed a cynical headfake, "when autocrats collide"
My Dad had a cynical saying that two dictators cannot co-exist on the same continent, and he may be proven right on this one continent.
ABOUT THE SOUTH AFRICAN:

Trump sniffs out the Musk plan after he annexes South Africa.
Here's the Musk plan
1. Trump annexes South Africa. ( Greenland and Canada are a head fake.)
2. He perishes from tainted onions in a Big Mac.
3. Musk is elected speaker of the house.
4. Vance perishes in a burning Tesla.
5. Musk becomes president, being a native-born American in the 51st state.
Just speculation, and it IS April 1st.

Well, if we don't have him we'll have Vance who might be worse. I think JD is Dump's insurance policy...

I've come to realize the immense privilege it's been to live in a country where the economy & govt are relatively stable

The only thing that comes to mind is The French Resistance and meetings in basements

I think we've crossed the Rubicon. The US has always been an empire, and not afraid to use violence to grow.

There will be time enough at last to read and reflect. (Always carry a spare set of eyeglasses, friends)
