    It’s precisely this mentality I’m arguing against (the unstoppableness of Trump, that’s what he wants you to think).

    People only have power over you, if you obey their command. MAGA obeys Trump, that’s why Trump has power over MAGA. Whether he has power over the rest of America depends on how much Americans want to defend it from his ongoing attacks, which are happening right now and will continue. “Right now” means that it’s not too late. Giving up and conceding means giving Trump a free pass to wreck the USA.

      Your statement is extremely naive, because when a politician establish a rule, you are legally forced to follow it, and believe me, the authorities don’t care about the means to enforce the said rules if they don’t want to follow them. Resistance to Trump will lead to increased repression, you should not forget he is a known authoritarian. If you want to risk your freedom -if not your physical integrity- to set yourself above the law, good for you, but don’t incite people to do so.
