This is too abstract for most Americans to understand. But talk about it as much as you can; to friends, family, coworkers, anyone. As things get worse and the coup resorts to physical enforcement against resistance, people may start to get a clue.
And while I’m here, a hardy “fuck you” to: Trump voters, non-voters, $hill Stein voters! Oh sure, Harris was far from idealized perfection… But lesser of two evils is often all you can hope for in this world. Maybe start voting in the small elections -not just the big national ones- if you want experienced, alternative candidates to work their way up.
She was what? Okay what part of promising to build the border wall and include Republicans in her cabinet is "fine"? Harris was a bad candidate, full stop.
The easy way for me to explain it is such. The executive branches job is to execute the bills passed by the legislature. If the executive branch does not execute the things our representatives agreed on in the legislature, then it is no longer a republic, it is a dictatorship. The sanctions on Russia passed the house and Senate and were signed by the president. For them to simply disband the enforcement groups and are not going to enforce those sanctions means your representatives no longer matter, it is not a republic.
