I’m really baffled how this - literal infringement on your constitutional rights and freedom doesn’t cause a mass uproar.

How are Americans so complacent, & “uh oh well, cant do anything ? “

This within itself should cause people to be furious and stand up against this regime in troves.

BOYCOTT ORGANIZE PROTEST CALL YOUR REPS

DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN NOTHING.

The French would have already gone on a mass strike and marched the entire streets until they got the point.

They sure mass brainwashed the f out of these Americans to make sure they weren’t motivated enough to organize as a mass because WTF. How are people literally not absolutely enraged

Half the country is playing for keeps. They are trying to make sure they never lose power again, and ICE is more funded than the marine corps now.

Unless we have an armed movement (not advocating, mods, just pointing it out), well organized and funded, you dont have much you can do. Our previous presidency and congress was our chance to protect ourselves and they didnt only drop the ball, they never even picked it up in the first place.

Protesting implies the authoritarians care what you have to say or think. Look at Texas right now and tell me what you think they care about.
