      Refusing to walk into a trap set by the dumbest president in the history of the United States is not cowardice. It’s strategy.

        So your strategy is to play by the rules the enemy set up to prevent meaningful change? Great plan.

          It’s proven to have worked in several dictatorships.

          The alternative is copying the communists in 1939 Germany, inciting small-scale violence (the Reichstag fire), then being persecuted and removed from the resistance. Remember how that story ended?

            What would happen if a significant number of people started cross dressing and using the wrong bathrooms in Florida for example? The point is to break unjust laws, not molotoving the Capitolium. Duh.

            The orange toddler (maybe not him, but his handlers) are very afraid of that kind of lawbreaking because that is turning the tables on their strategy and springing aforementioned trap on them instead. Edit: If they do it, why shouldn’t we?
