2. Uprising
Sun Mar 23, 2025, 03:40 AM

I think that the only thing that might stop Trump Musk at this point would be an uprising both within and outside of the federal government. An uprising of the American people and those in the federal government that are still loyal to the country and the Constitution and not to Trump. I am not confident that we have the will to do it.

People are still hoping that normal democratic procedures will work. I hope that I am wrong but I am skeptical. I am not confident that we will have fair elections in 2026 much less 2028. I do not believe that we are living in a democracy anymore. Dictators do not willingly give up power. They must be forced to do so. So some form of uprising might be the only solution. Otherwise we must learn to live in an authoritarian state.
