(88,052 posts)and support what you're doing. It really is encouraging and invigorating! Everybody's nice and dedicated to peacefully opposing the donald. People smile, wave, and/or flash thumbs-up as they drive by. I've been there for many weeks in 2025 and each Friday, I count a maximum of only five "middle finger salutes." Hasn't gone beyond that, at least not yet, and most of the time it's less than that - mainly threes and fours.
Highly recommended, gotta say!

Arming ourselves? The enemy would just deply more forces and heavier armament.
A coup d' état? We'd have to remove all of les états. For that, we'd need the arms, the organization and the people willing to carry it out -- that is, willing to be taken prisoner or to die.
Seems like we can only continue what we've been doing. Sooner or later, The Felon will be gone, and maybe his Gestapo and SS will run out of gas. Maybe.
I'm not giving in. I just don't see a way for this to be stopped as quickly as it needs to be. (Look at what it took to stop the Thhird Reich.)
