The rule of law can only stand when people believe in the constitution and the rule of law. Those like Ammon Bundy who thumb their nose at the law can be hunted down and arrested. What do you do when a political party and especially its leader has decided the rule of law is only for others as he chooses but does not apply to him, when he suggests the constitution can be suspended to achieve his preferred outcome. How do you counter this, especially when there are judges like Cannon and even some on the supreme court that see the merit in this behavior. This will be the most dangerous year our democracy has ever seen, made doubly so by people refusing to see the facts that are around them, from a great and growing economy, a remarkable foreign policy executed with confidence and finesse by a president that once again leads the free world. And yet they would throw all that away for a would be dictator that brought nothing but disgrace to this country, a would be dictator who touts 4 million jobs created when there have been 13.9 million under Biden, 4.5 million more than there were before the pandemic.

Other than vote I don't know what you can do.

But I do know that in the "before times" most Americans would have recoiled from such a party and leader.
