In time, yes. They will manufacture a reason for their crackdowns.

However that does not mean we should hand them that excuse. The longer it takes for them, the more time we have to try getting out of this mess, or at least longer for other countries to see what's going on.

I've seen this movie before.

I am also disabled.

"Longer for other countries to see what's going on" ?

The fuck dude, what exactly are you expecting us to do about it ? You guys elected him (well supposedly, I'm skeptical it was a fair election but anyway).

You seriously want the rest of the world to do a coup and topple your elected head of state ? Even assuming we collectively had the military heft to do so (we don't) many Americans who would otherwise be against him would line up behind him (and rightly so)

YOU guys (USA) collectively created this, you need to find yourselves a solution. We can't fix this for you.

If you look at Hitler's first 3 months you should get a good idea what will work and what the consequences of leaving action too late will be.

Yeah, just do nothing and hope other people stop them from getting anything done! Great plan!
