Thinking that the “un T” movement will make a substantive difference is about as delusional as thinking Musk will fix America. I personally hope that Trump is successful in everything he wants to do. Once the folks that supported him are unemployed, and hoping for welfare which no longer exists and have lost their homes and are on the street, will we have a chance to take this house and senate and paralyze him for his last two years. All of the well meaning protests and messes will do nothing other than make their originators feel good. They will accomplish nothing, Unless of course they are copyrighted which will make their authors a few bucks.

The one small problem with this gambit is that you are assuming that the 2026 elections will be fair and free. Musk and Agent Orange jest ain't gonna' let that happen if they aren't stopped by then. No, we must act now. We must do something, anything, everything to get our Congress -- our Representatives -- to act in the interests of the citizens, not our newly self-coronated king and his unelected Nazi-saluting President. Our Representatives took an oath to uphold the Constitution. We must hold them to it. We must remind our Representatives that their duty is to protect the Republic from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

We must also pray for our judiciary. We must pray that the judiciary stands their ground. When (not if) the administration refuses to enforce their rulings, we must pray that they issue contempt of court citations. The administration will most likely continually ignore them, even if some some officials are threatened with jail. We can expect the administration to continue to refuse to enforce the judiciary's rulings and refuse to jail the officials responsible for the illegal actions. That is when the Congress must act. If they don't, we will have lost the Republic. There is no doubt in my mind this dynamic will play out sooner than later. The administration is already breaking many laws and laying waste to constitutional norms.

When asked what type of government the new United States would have, Benjamin Franklin answered, "A Republic if you can keep it." We are in serious danger of losing our Republic.
