All that Americans need to do is to vote on Election Day, and better yet, also in the primaries, and to not vote for anyone who supports the Big Lie or who doesn't take January 6th to be an insurrection.
All Americans don't need to do this, just a small majority (just enough to take care of the peculiar American electoral map).
None of this as as onerous as going overseas to fight a war, to restrain consumption or to be rationed life's necessities, to be required to work a 6-day week, to pay more taxes, to reduce the enjoyment of life in the least. It is as close to a zero-sacrifice civic virtue that is possible, that is needed.
If the alarm bells are flashing red because Americans are no longer capable of this tiny bit of civic virtue, then I must question whether there is anything left to save. The flashing lights are not of those an emergency but of a funeral procession.
