Imagine a mass protest by veterans, military family members and LEO family members
I know active duty members can't but their family members can. Mass protests by those groups would be POWERFUL, with many of us backing them up, of course. For Trump to see that not everyone in those groups (any "enforcement" entity) is MAGA could be deflating. And, LEO and even military if it comes to that are less likely to go after their own family members if ordered to do so to protesters. I've reached out to Nance and VoteVets. I realize the numbers would need to be huge. Anyone with military and/or LEO connections would count.
HAB911's post sparked this idea given Malcolm Nance's background:

And this paragraph from babylonsister's post:
We reel at chaos as if we don't know its opposite is organization. And we think, how can we be as powerful? You've got most of the world protesting this, ready to back us up, what could be the largest global array of organized activism that may have ever existed, waiting to be harnessed, waiting to be utilized, waiting to be called upon, to magnify every effort, most of the rest of the world cheering us to beat this, and here we are wondering if we should try, instead of just doing.
The only way to rise to meet the moment is to rise to meet the moment. All that backup, all those people waiting to be called upon, to support what we do, that won't last forever. You harness it, or you fail to. That's not something that happens to you, that's something that you make happen.
