    What other options do you propose?

    I’m aware the midterms aren’t failsafe, but they’re the closest thing to hope that we have.

    And if people make the same mistake as last time by boycotting the vote, then their defeatism will be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

      if we are relying on legal processes, we wait until midterms, magically retake the house and enough of the senate to impeach and unseat. that places the speaker of the house (not maga) in.

      if we are relying on extralegal methods, we really ought to have better operational security than to discuss it on the internet. so…

        That’s the thing, you won’t find the resistance units online at all if they’re smart. Can’t even take a turned off cellphone with you, we really should have studied more of the French and Norwegian resistances as well as other countries need to do what they did to Germany in WWII.

        Edit: A missed word that changes a lot.

        I’m not pretending it’s likely that we’ll have free and fair elections followed by a peaceful transfer of power, but we’re also not in “no chance in hell” territory yet, and it is our most likely option.

        If midterms come and go and it becomes obvious that elections were not both free and fair, or if there is no peaceful transfer of power in accordance with the will of the people as expressed by a free and fair election, then the third and fifth sentences of the Declaration of Independence come into effect.

        Until that time, or under more favorable conditions, the fourth sentence of the Declaration applies.
