True, and exactly because this is a real nightmare for real people we shouldn't forget that there's still a chance to end this particular nightmare and also other, older nightmares that were previously too interwined with the status quo. Resignation is exactly what Trump's goons want and not so coincidentally the exact opposite of what it will take to end this nightmare. In other words: Trump's public health policy and deregulation will only kill countless people if you let him stay in office long enough to continue those things. Those deaths are still preventable.
I would love for someone to remove him the only way we can and I applaud anyone who works at that. However, I have not the skills or the anonymity required to do something like that. There is real danger in me even telling people how this administration must end, so me laying out the facts is the part I choose to play.
Obviously you know your own circumstances best, but as far as I know neither skills nor anonymity are needed to occupy your local city square or ICE headquarters; you only need numbers.
Unfortunately, not being brown is a perquisite for avoiding an easy ticket to the camps. Maybe if I was white, cis, and het, but my countless intersecting identities make me public enemy number one for these guys. They could not make an easier target if they tried.
