      Asking a bunch of open-ended what-if questions to contrast what’s actually happening is fine, but @underpantsWeevil@lemmy.world and apparently you aren’t seeing that these “things” aren’t doing shit. So, effectively, it’s the same stance I’m taking - just framed differently.

      “What if X is done and Y is this?” That’s my point. If nothing is changing despite our efforts, then nothing is being done. The Constitution is worthless right now and no number rhetorical questions will change that. Isolated, low impact regional flare-ups won’t do much and can be locally suppressed and painted as disgruntled “ANTIFA” or whatever the state wants to call it next.

      The Constitution is being ignored. We as a nation are failing to hold our government accountable in a meaningful way. If this election in November proves to actually unseat Trump’s coalition, then the next step will be for politicians to fortify against him and others like him, then codify the changes in a way that can’t be subverted by regular means.

      Asking “What if” a bunch of times doesn’t do or say a thing to help fix the Constitutional crisis we’re now facing. So, get off your high horse and come down to earth with the rest of us who want to actually fight instead of casting unhelpful dispersions.

        You were asked to consider that people are doing things while others do useless things and others still don’t know what to do. Basically to look at reality and suggest what should be done. This was my reading anyhow. Your reaction is to imply anyone who would question you is cool with the status quo. Basically you’re useless but especially self righteous about it.

          I’m saying that the people who can and should enforce it are not only not doing anything, but blocking us from our normal measures.

          We need to do extra.
