Well said, I think there is a question of whether the American people are ready to engage in mass protests, strikes, walkouts, work stoppages, and other actions that slow or stop society to signify a collective voice, saying none of this is okay. So far, there is little indication of people willing to do that. But I could also be wrong, as I'm not as plugged into the grassroots community as I once was. Maybe I can also be blamed.

There are huge rallies/protests going on all over the country, calling/emailing your senators, attorney general, governor and boycotting companies on Feb 28.

I don't know. I don't know anyone thinking of doing anything. But it takes awhile to build a movement. Hopefully, he'll lose support and hopefully we'll have another election, but who knows.

There are nationwide protests scheduled today “Presidents Day”. Our local one is sponsored by Indivisible and the Democrats. I will be attending (my post below), even knowing it could be quite risky, given the new immunity cloak enjoyed by MAGA. It’s time we got started.

For the most part, the vast majority of Americans still have power, Netflix, and their mobile devices; hence, they're placated and unlikely to do anything.
