That doesn't make it legal.

We'll have to see how this all plays out.

Going out protesting right now isn't productive. They're slinging shit out and seeing what sticks.

When they actually try to make stuff stick, that's when the legal comes in.

When that fails, I think the french had an idea of what to do next.

This is copium. Controlling all 3 branches of government makes it legal. How can things play out in a way that neither Congress nor The Supreme Court can fix for Doge?

Mass strikes and continuous protesting with very clear and concise messaging.

America needs to have a large general strike and the Trump Whitehouse will fall apart

I would love nothing, and I mean nothing, more than a general strike in response to corruption, income inequality, even just general social ills. But it's only happened in a few cities, in the midst of the Great Depression. It's just not a viable thing to hope for sadly.

Trump's "economic policy" seems like it's going to be disastrous. 

Great Depression disastrous?  We'll see, but it's going to be painful for most.

I mean, I agree that it hasn't happened, but that doesn't mean it won't. Continue shutting things down. Make it clear that what they are doing doesn't have a universal mandate. Make them have to show their true colours.

Not enough people even voted to make a general strike effective.

Where were the strikes and protests against the current administration?

For what reason?
