Gotta love the "on the edge/almost there" comments from politicians and corporate media that are desperately wanting to believe that deploying armed military in DC is normal. We're there, so what now? Do we resist and take the red pill or give in/take the blue pill?

Acceptance is unhelpful. We must push back - especially while we still can do so safely.

I get what you're saying, but there's two types of acceptance. One is accepting that it's happening and making a change. And the other is accepting it but not giving a fuck

Yes. The unhelpful one I referred to is the latter. By making a change, do you mean doing something to change the situation? Plus I think there are other kinds of “acceptance” too, like seeing what’s happening and feeling too overwhelmed or frightened to act.

I don't know how effective the safe push back is, honestly. Trump is a wannabe Putin who only respects people who stand-up to him. He will put military personnel in every city regardless of what courts think.

I don’t have a crystal ball. But keep in mind thatTrump was able to delay the court cases that would’ve stopped him for sure. Those delays allowed him back into power. So delaying consequences is a very real strategy that can help fight his admin. No one knows the future so we do what we can.
