I don’t think we’ve reached the point of no return yet, but I also don’t think you’re overreacting. We’re in a dangerous moment, and you’re right to be worried, but it’s not the first time we’ve been here. America is resilient. When norms are shattered, resistance builds. We’re seeing that right now

Elections aren’t run by the federal government. Trump has no way to cancel them. He could try, but a handful of red states would be the only ones that complied. Blue states would tell him to get fucked.

I don’t think he’s actively working to oust Trump, but I think he was probably involved in the WSJ / Epstein leaks that were designed to weaken him. The GOP has gotten most of what they want from Trump, so they can afford to cut ties with him - just hard to do without alienating MAGA.

I think Vance taking over is actually best case scenario (other than a meteor…). The GOP doesn’t respect him. There’s no cult like following. They don’t fear him, etc. Vance would likely have an extremely milquetoast presidency.

That’s probably the goal. Trump is looking for a way to deploy the Guard in other blue cities, but thankfully he doesn’t have blanket control over them like he does in DC. In other cities, he would have to do something to incite mass protests or a riot before he could legally federalize the Guard.

The other thing we can (and should) do right now is start planning to vote as many Republicans out of office as humanly possible. Every state and local election. Midterms, etc. They’re all must wins. Then we can start limiting the damage that’s being done.

They aren’t trying to erase history because they’re embarrassed by it. They’re trying to erase history because it’s their current playbook.

Call in the National Guard to help the residents of Charleston. Oh, wait. South Carolina’s governor sent them to DC for Trump’s occupation.
