I just have this feeling that someday soon we're going to look back at this time and wish we'd stood up and acted while we could. I'm not advocating murder - but we're voting in elections and having endless online discussions while the world is circling the drain.

Federal judges have a lot of power & are near impossible to remove. Democrats could literally tie Trump up in courts for the next 4 years.

Aren't federal judges Article III judges?

If so, congress can remove them. The same congress that's in republican hands, too.

Removing federal judges requires impeachment by 2/3 majority. Republicans do not control 2/3 of congress.

Law only works when the authority, whatever form that takes, wishes to uphold it.

Elon took over the treasury, despite not having the security clearance or congressional oversight. Yarvin's Cabal does not respect authentic law, and treats it merely as set dressing to justify whatever pleases them.

The left should do the same in kind. Use both force and words, but never mistake the latter to hold weight among those who don't care.

Hopefully they don’t wait over 2 years to get started this time, if that’s the strategy.
