So, what needs to happen to these vandals going into all these USG offices, locking people physically out, locking them out of computer systems, connecting unsecured computers to classified systems, etc, is that they need to be arrested & charged with whatever makes sense given their actions.
Other than their claims, do we even have any evidence this is actually what's happening & Trump isn't just illegally paying bc Musk's minions essentially hacked the Treasury & made it so he can direct money however he likes?
Lying about reprogramming to delay revealing the Treasury is captured?
Since you've already admitted there are no actual, literal, tanks running people over, what does it mean to be metaphorically run over? What's an example of this happening?
Nobody here is talking about sitting down except you.
And real resistance includes appearances, because perception matters. It matters whether it looks like police are in danger & acting reasonably in self-defense, or whether it looks like they're overreacting, using unjustifiable violence.
Ok, so, since you admit there are no tanks, do you think the tactics protesters use now should be different or the same as if there were, in fact, literal tanks in the streets?
Does the presence/absence of tanks matter to how the public responds? Should it matter?

No, you don't gotta hand it to him for possibly getting the third Biden cease fire eight months late after tolerating a mass starvation campaign and demanding a little ethnic cleansing and enormous bribes as a treat, and only because Netanyahu surprise bombed the chief bribe facilitator.
Researchers pointed a satellite dish at the sky for 3 years and monitored what unencrypted data it picked up. The results were shocking: They obtained thousands of T-Mobile users' phone calls and texts, military and law enforcement secrets, much more: www.wired.com/story/satell... 🧵👇
Also, even if all that comes to pass & you get amendments, you *still* need to continue winning elections, otherwise they win elections, pack the courts, & nullify your amendments.
There's no rule you can create, no system you can devise, that can w/stand repeated electoral wins by bad actors.
Ok, so, win a lot of elections once, later, but how do you plan to get to that point? What about now? You don't seem to think elections will be free & fair moving forward, so what happens in between?
You don't think it'll be resolved w elections, so how will it be resolved instead?

Sure, but this just reinforces my arg re: motives for wanting Dems to capitulate & give them a "bipartisan" bill: attribution, domination, & demoralization.
Plus, preserving reconciliation leaves open the door to using it later, letting them double-cross Dems, compounding domination/demoralization.
It's a partisan game of chicken, & whoever blinks first, loses, while the other side gets multiple, mutually-reinforcing, benefits, & gains momentum, heading into both November's off-year elections & next year's midterms.
Plus, if GOP nukes filibuster, they can't obstruct Dems w it in 2027 & 2029.
