What do we do when working within the system no longer works?

Let those red states try to get by without the Northeast, Great Lake states, and the Pacific coast states.

Let’s not forget that Reagan started this with his call for a stronger Executive, with his DOJ’s Unitary Exec Theory.
America is slowly realising the extreme danger it faces
And I feel this coming summer will be the time of reckoning, of open resistance as that tension is released
And the rest of us are going to see the American Republic implode in real time

"If he doesn't stop, and our normal methods to redress grievances no longer work, then what?"
As of now, I favor mass protests. R's must know they will lose their next election.
I’m sorely tempted to just withdraw into my own woods here in rural Georgia and silently hunker down. I know we must engage not withdraw if we want to save democracy. But the task appears so daunting….
Are we all soon to face our own crises of conscience?
Unfortunately, the moron that made this poster below doesn't know the Constitution from the Declaration of Independence... But give me a break, I am Canadian.

Sometimes I feel like an alien from another planet. 😔
Great essay by the way. Soon it will be time to howl.
"We are completely unwilling to answer a question that the president is counting on us not daring to ask: What do we do when working within our system fails us? What do we do when working within law won’t work because the president and his supporters refuse to do so?"

We do what the fox does.
If there is no law, then there is no Union and no constitution. States may do as they wish

My Trump supporting dad tells me that he will only change his mind on Trump when he starts jailing political opponents.
I hope it doesn’t come to that, but I’m ready to be jailed, harmed and killed. I’ll be at the protest in DC on 2/17 with my mom.
I really don’t know, but it’s worth trying. So I will.
I spent an hour on the phone with my trump voting Dad yesterday. He was thrilled with all the “waist” dodge is finding.
After that hour, though, I got home to agree that the admin must follow the law.
Thank you.

We have talked about Cohen in the past and how he was wrongfully jailed. I will talk to him about both next time we chat.
To that end, my dad’s definition of political opponents is likely limited to a particular set of people. Thats why I have to be ready to be jailed.
How do you get those votes? Amplify the voices of the people in red states who get hurt by Trump's actions. Work with overseas teams to get pictures of who gets hurt there.
You’ve been called!
We’re very lucky to have a fighting senator in a time like this.
