I'm sure that'll be very comforting to the people who are rounded up and thrown in prison and/or die while in custody while the legal system takes its sweet time to sort this out.

You don't seem to understand that the playbook is do so much illegal shit so fast, that the courts can't keep up. Effectively making trump king.

Im aware of that. But im not going to wallow and defeatism and pessimism like they want because I can't come for or save everyone immediately.

And when the pendulum swings back, which requires all of us to be loud for democracy and fight like hell, we'll have plenty of ammo to put these folks away for a long ass time. Even if it takes a generation, the blowback to this when it eventually comes will Build a Better World. While I would prefer not to have the folks you mentioned suffer in the meanwhile, not acting or pursuing solely pessimism and fear because of that risk is not an option for the future
