But that would be an insurrection. We can't fight the destruction of rule of law by breaking the law. (Wish there were an emoji for a steaming head.)

Well you give me one other thing that can stop Trump. There are no guardrails. The military is pledged to protect the constitution. It’s time they start protecting it.

Remember the Declaration of Independence? "When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another..." I think it applies to governance inside the country also, as well as a foreign power.

Trump revolted against the Constitution like when the South seceded.

I don’t mean the use of violence, which is the definition of insurrection.

Revolutions on the other hand are aimed at making radical changes without violence. However, this can include huge crowds of Americans, demonstrating and demanding corrupt leaders, and dictators, stand down.

Definition of Revolution from the Oxford dictionary:

a dramatic and wide-reaching change in the way something works or is organized or in people's ideas about it.

Isn’t this what this administration is doing, in regard to the Constitution,

Congress, and the rule of law?

And, with no representation of “we the people”

Definition of Insurrection according to the Oxford dictionary:

a violent uprising against an authority or government.

This is what MAGA did when they stormed the capital!

I’d like to see a widespread peaceful Revolution, to take back our Democracy Constitution, Congress, and the rule of law. In short, our government!

I’m not advocating for violence.

That would make us as bad as them.
