    Just did. Chilling.

    Frankly, I find it hard to believe that such a far reaching plan went mistakenly unprepared for by Democrats.

    They knew this was coming and they didn't do anything about it. They didn't prepare for this eventuality.

    Hopefully they did prepare and are just giving Trump and MAGA more rope to hang themselves. But I don't think that os very likely.

    No, this is exactly what I was saying I was worried about. I think that's what pretty much everyone who was opposed to Trump was saying.

    It was never the end times until he started doing exactly what we said the end times could look like.

    Problem is, you were saying it 8 years ago and it didn’t pan out then either. It’s just tired. There’s no market for this chicken little shit anymore. The left just recycles it and sells it back to each other. They can’t change any minds outside their bubble because they are too deranged to make a coherent pitch.

    Exactly. You don’t even know what you are saying.

    No, I started saying it about 5 or 6 years ago and stopped once he lost the election (aside from his attempted insurrection). I didn't start again until it looked like he may have a chance to win a 2nd term.

    I was always most concerned about a Trump 2nd term.

    Thanks for your revisionist history though. What is happening is exactly what I was concerned about, exactly when I was concerned about it happening.

    I don't know the answer, but I think we the people, collectively, have some power still.

    Mass protests have some effect. Not if they only happen in Portland Oregon, but if they happen all over, then yes.

    I don't mean effect on Trump and his cronies, but on other elected officials.

    If people put *a lot* of pressure on their elected representatives, rather than sitting back and waiting for them to act first, that will have some effect.

    Failing that, I'd suggest a general strike. But maybe there's a better suggestion.

    The only protests that matter are in states with Red senators and congress members.

    I know what I'm saying. Either you are totally ignorant or a piece of work.

    We need public protest, legal challenges, strong candidates, support for civil rights. We need to get quality information. Things can start small. It could be just a school board refusing to censor books. And be kind to cats.

    Disagree entirely. Red state people aren't going to lead the way, but they might begin to follow if we show them how.

    People in red states won't even know blue states are protesting.

    It'll just be ANTIFA getting rowdy and burning libral cities to the ground again.

    *Edit* Then they flip the channel to watch Republicans literally robbing Fort Knox pushing wheel barrows full of gold while blaming "the deep state" for having counted it wrong or something...
