> Have you seriously thought about how to stop this in any way in the past few months? Your questions are so shallow it's making me think you only have talking points to share. After an election loss like that (not a landslide, but still an obvious loss), there is no coup potential or other kind of way for the Democrats to even try to hold onto power.
Not quite sure what talking points you think I have to share here, I thought I was laying out a logical flow that doesn't make sense to me.
Circling the wagons at the state level is a good short term approach, though if successful I don't see how it doesn't first run into the unfortunate need for violence.
As a country we have spent the better part of a century moving a large portion of powers to the federal level. States can't just ignore that and do what they want without repercussions. Maybe more importantly, I don't see how a stage could continue to run democratically as part of the union if democracy is destroyed at the federal level, there would just be too much conflict there.
> they rolled over knowing full well that democracy is over within a matter of years.
This point. The point I've been quoting specifically.
I've stated why this is an incredibly shallow perspective on repeated occasions. I'm not going to repeat myself.

Tough shit. Democrats lost the Executive, both branches of the Legislative, and the Supreme Court. Democrats have literally nothing in the Federal level anymore. Or have you forgotten how this election has gone?
Its all Republicans here on out at the Federal level. The ONLY plan is to fight at the state level to protect those close to us.
The Federal level has been completely and totally lost. The ONLY plan that makes sense is to build bulwarks at the state level, and if that isn't enough then maybe even at the municipal / city level.
