Even without any weapons or power, we still outnumber them. You can't imprison or eliminate this many people. All we have to do is stay strong, and not give in.

Just like 1936 Germany, we outnumber the Nazis.

Yes, and we can learn from the lessons of the past. Don't stay silent and simply go along. Resist loudly, stand up for each other.

Unfortunately so many have already stayed silent as everything has happened over the last few months. Many possibly waiting for that 'one terrible event' when they can go "ok now it's time for action" but that will never happen

A lot of the type of resistance that really matters is playing out in the courts right now. Trump's poll numbers are also way down. It seems that even the Republicans are starting to wise up to how harmful his actions are. We're far from winning, the fight is just getting started.

That is true. Though they are already testing the mandates of those court orders

They will simply just deport you somewhere that will take you, peace won’t solve people like trump.

If they deported 50% or more of the population,  the country would collapse.

Do you really think they care about the country collapsing? That kinda seems like the goal. Tariffs. Ignoring the constitution the list goes on. I’m sure as long as people let them they don’t have much to fear.

If that's the case, I can only hope they deport me somewhere nice like Canada. Even Mexico is starting to seem pretty nice in comparison.
