It is more about dropping the pretense of institutions that no longer serve us. It is about forgoing his ego and doing something within his power to help save the nation. There are no consequences personally for Biden, other than what he perceives to be his personal legacy. The Supreme Court has already said he cannot be prosecuted for any act that is an official duty.

How many"unlawful orders" of Trump's do you think will be enjoined?

And you have just made the perfect case why Biden should do exactly that. Force the SCOTUS to that a position against unlawful orders before Trump takes over.

Republicans don't obey in advance. They try anything they can get away with. We must stop giving them an asymmetric battle field.

or are you just condemning people in general? It is so much more enlightening when one can point to specifics rather than blanket criticisms.

they are willing to work with Musk whose main cost-cutting idea so far is to eliminate the VA system.

Democrats should not be agreeing the ANYTHING at this stage. The only thing Dems should be saying is: "If you think you can pass any legislation with the narrowest margins in modern history, then have at it. If you have something specific you want to do, then write it up so the entire country can judge whether it represents what they thought they were voting for, and then maybe we'll talk -- or not. Meanwhile, this is your government. It is time you showed the American people you can govern. "

until it's too late.

Wasn't that the goal? So big, so long term thinking that it would be well underway by the time anyone really figured it out.

Attacking on every single front available?

Compromising people on the inside to collude and commit espionage?

So those who did figure it out would be have too much opposition to really move forward?

No?!!!

And we should use every possible tactic to raise American consciousness. If 95% of those tactics fail, that's ok.

Do you want him to act as dictator? No thanks. Americans elected Trump in a democracy so he’s going to take office and do what he’s gonna do.

sure.

Possibly a Reichstag. Timing would be critical.

What's Reichstag?

Also, newly free friends in Europe might have some ideas. Nothing like good friends tasting freedom for the first time in years.

Not knowing the political tools, I'm like a barber or taxi driver giving advice.

So if you're asking me, what would I do. I did it. I voted. I can protest with others. Those are my tools.

Encouraging those with more power and more tools - that's also one of my tools.

If you're asking me what would I do just to show me that because I might not have THE answer, it can't be done,

I would tell you to go F yourself.
