    If the law was perfect or if the law even worked as intended, he would have been in prison a long time ago.

    If the law didn’t matter at all, he wouldn’t bother making threats and testing the waters. The military never would have been recalled from LA the first time around. The FBI would have already arrested the TX Democrats in Chicago, and TX Republicans would have just gone ahead with the redistricting without a second thought (which even I’m pretty surprised that they didn’t).

    Will the law alone prevail and save us in the end? Not likely, but there is a difference between being naive and not allowing yourself to panic and be backed into a corner of black and white thinking. In many ways, doing so is accepting defeat.

    Being smart and strategizing means using the law and along with everything else to your advantage while you still can. Trump has been bulldozing through law bc his goal is to betray his own country. Democrats in TX are breaking the law, but they’re doing it strategically to save their country. They’re aligning themselves with Democrats in other states, and uniting as Americans. That’s what we all should be doing.

        No you’re right, I’m the useful idiot for not buying what’s being sold to me by a reality TV star. Now is definitely not the time for alliances against a traitorous coup.

        Might as well give up and accept it’s over. No point in fighting to hold on to what’s left. Every man for himself. It’s total anarchy.
