So I did not see a solution or alternative in the article, please did I miss something?
I believe we need to protest, so yes, many smaller local groups. ABSOLUTELY, BUT, follow ALL laws and any direction by LEO’s. Provide no opportunity for conflict, confrontation or arrest. Stand and watch, -silently, when LEO,s or ICE or any other authority figures get near. Hold yourself and your fellow protestors accountable. No littering, stay on sidewalks (but don’t block them), stay out of roadways, don’t, again, I say DON’T SHOUT OBSCENITIES, DON,T USE OBSCENE GESTURES, DON’T START ANY BAD TROUBLE.
I think if we can ALL respectfully protest, it will drive them crazy.
PS. The last protest I was at, a couple were there dressed in all black and black bandannas across their faces. I suggested this was a very bad look. And suggested they just wear normal bright colored clothing. I feel the all black clothing and covered faces made them look like they were up to no good. Just my thoughts.
Protest on January 14th across the nation. Do not protest in D.C. Ignore Trump, do not give him any oxygen, no air time, no clicks. Go to: Indivisible org Find a protest near you. Video and post on Substack. We, the people, must stand up united to Save Our Democracy from the Corrupt Trump Administration.🇺🇸🗽👍
I know we have to protest peacefully. Trump can't wait to send in the military to snuff us out, shut us up. I just don't understand how are peaceful protests are ever going to do us any good? trump ignores the Supreme Court for God's sake. Somehow we MUST get our country back.
In a very peaceful way we the millions have to show up and just keep on walking forward. Like the people that came for Obama's inauguration, that kind of crowd, Just move forward walking. Hands to the side
If I read those numbers in the Chicago Poll , I find it very hard to believe that many ppl would be OK with DJT using force with protesters. If it's peaceful, I'm certainly not ok with the orange WH troll using force.
BTW, he didn't think his "day of love" protesters needed force when they were as violent as could be but Peaceful protests needs physical violence. Only bc they're protesting him and his agenda. There is a very special place in a very bad place for this sick, sick person.
Finally a thoughtful approach to communication and messaging. With a BFA in Visual Communication, and MBA in Marketing and Communication it has been painful and infuriating to watch the complete incompetence of the Democratic Party for the last ten years; they have shown no awareness on how new media works, and how to develop a strategy for continuity and layered messaging across channels.
I can't believe he's sending the Afghan interpreters whose lives & the lives of their family members were threatened because of their helping American troops in Afghanistan. tRump said the Taliban has changed much since they were given refugee status which is a total lie. He's sending them & their children to be taken tortured & killed after they helped our troops & in many cases they fought with our troops!! He repays their loyalty by stabbing them in the back why? Because he's NO CHRISTIAN thats foe certain. Then he claims there's a white farmer genocide in South Africa even though as many black farmers have beeni
killed there in recent years & he grants white afrikaners refugee status because they're WHITE!!
You still believe there will be mid-terms? We can live in hope. My sense is that by 2026 it will be too late to even have a midterm election. Our Democracy will have been stolen by Americans in power.
We have been warned over and over. In recent years those who have lived under fascism, dictators have written and spoken over and over sounding the ‘Warning Bell’…few have taken their Warnings seriously. Historian like Timothy Snyder wrote in 2017 a powerful book called ‘On Tyranny’.

The article quotes:
“The electoral road to breakdown is dangerously deceptive… People still vote. Elected autocrats maintain a veneer of democracy while eviscerating its substance. Many government efforts to subvert democracy are ‘legal,’ in the sense that they are approved by the legislature or accepted by the courts.”
The slithering serpent …DjtRuMp and his cronies, is now raising its hydra-head minute by minute, 24/7…. Project 2025 is Now fully operational… how many of us have taken a few minutes, hours to read even a summary. What are we doing?! We are giving it: this Administration/Regime permission to “eviscerate its (Democracy and the Constitution) substance”… violently and forcefully!

Absolutely no citizens should show up for his parade,It's a joke
You're right! Waste, Fraud & Abuse! That 92M or whatever the total is a complete waste of $. Put it towards MC, Aide. Wherever we need more $.
This clown is not even embarrassed to give himself a birthday party after all he's done! We'll see how it turns out!

Denise, sadly I don’t find it at all hard to believe that many people would be ok (or maybe ok) with political violence.
US tolerates (the maybe part) gun slaughter at a level not seen in other so-called civilized counties, even when the dead are children.
Anyone still listing themselves as Republican has either a very strong stomach or little conscience.
There are more guns in the US than people.
The bill that just passed the House allows the sale of silencers for gun (GOP having more concern for shooters than victims).
Remember “Stand back and stand by”?
Jan 6? Pardons for hundreds of Convicted Jan 6 , even ringleaders of 2 militias who had long sentences?

I pesonally think they're all show and no go.
