(#5973) Our power is our voice and then our vote

      We are still having elections here in America but I know the trumps are not welcoming to us voting anymore. They have complete control of our government and do not want to relinquish it. For now though there is nothing they can do about that except to declare Martial Law. It isn't a coincidence that the several state protests where trump is sending his thugs in disguised as ice agents is to stir up enough trouble to activate National Guard troops and now the US Marines. Even though the vast majority of protestors are peaceful and well within the stewardship of the local and state authorities. This clumsy plan of trumps to incite riots and confusion is the prelude to his attempt at Martial Law.
     I have told anyone reading this blog so many times that trump wants to be a dictator like putin is a dictator. It is clear now that the only way he can succeed is to stop voting in America and he can do that under the guise of Martial Law. We who would protest must understand that provoking the security forces that are mobilized is a double edge sword. It on the one hand makes us feel accomplished standing up to trump's goons but on the other hand plays into his narrative that Martial Law is the answer to the problem. We must be careful not to unduly hurt or harm those who are witting tools of a fool. Our protests must be peaceful and let the carnage of trump play out.
     The courts have been a real thorn in the side of trump and when he does do his stupid constitutional breaking activities he is almost always called out and rebuked for it by the courts. We the protestors must trust in the rule of law to rectify the absurdity and harm of trump and when in a matter of a short time have our next election and destroy the power trump currently has for the second half of his term. Our right to protest is not a right to combat. We must just use our voice and our presence to make known that we are not going to go quietly into the goodnight when our democracy is being overrun by a coward at heart. There are consequences to voting and if you are realizing now that you didn't get what you voted for then join the rest of us who knew and let's end this reign of stupidity and harm the proper way.
