        Edit: Was going to actually address you and forgot. Thank you, I plan to be with others at all times.

        Being in a blue pocket of a red state means we don’t have as many agents here, but I’m proud every time I’ve seen a video of people here following them into restaurants and other businesses until they leave scared and empty handed.

      Take a lot of care, your country needs you.

      The easier way and I think I’m preaching to the converted here is general strike. I’d rather see you be jobless, homeless and hungry for a year than dead. It’s a brutal way to put it but there are levels of difficulty and hardship to this.

        Yeah, I’ve been thinking about that a lot. I’m watching and listening as it keeps getting brpught up. Not many unions in my state right now, but even so, it was talked about today at the protest.

        Edit: reply duplicated itself

          Yeah I saw the dupe hahaha

          It’s the only way for citizens now. It’s hard because it absolutely means huge personal sacrifice for many. I think there’s enough people in the country on the right side, that could take the hardship to be successful with numbers. I spoke to one yesterday who despite their best wishes is arm deep in the machine as they put it and they’re right. That said, there comes a point where even they have to consider shutting down production.

          That should force the Houses, or enough people within them, to invoke whatever amendment (25th I believe?) to remove the administration. The guilty ones will run; that’s fine provided the next government is one that means business and follows through on extradition. The goal is to restore decent government; accountability happens afterward anyway.

          You’ll have to live with their shitty base, that said, they need to be held accountable where possible as well. Most of them will turn and lie their way out of it. They’re all shitty people.

            Yeah, I never thought I would find myself happier with a do-nothing representative, but this is active harm and way worse. I left my shitty job a few months ago, and have considered organizing a protest or two around the state capital building. I wish I had a better way to personally hit big businesses, like that one guy who emailed contractor invoices to google and amazon and was paid tens of thousands for nothing.

              Hahaha yeah I remember that, what a blast from the past!

              Yeah you and people like you will drive this, those that do have some wiggle room. Others see people doing something too; that’s where normal, organised protests play their role.
