“Be strong. Be safe. Trump can't stand to be humiliated. This is what's driving his dictatorial moves. But he will overreach. He already has. And this overreach will ultimately be his undoing. As long as we keep our heads - and engage in peaceful civil disobedience.”

That's a nice fantasy, but why push this privileged delusion when you know there is no way it's going to play out that way?

True but watch out for Peter Thiel's project Vance.

This is facile. Any reaction to any overreach on his part will now fail on the power he can wield against an insurrection. With a state of emergency declared he can rewrite laws as he goes.

Face it. The coup has happened. The dictator is here.

@rbreich

Are people willing to lay down their life or health to keep resisting?

I am.

Because they will attack any crowd of size. They will certainly begin to send in agitators, too, to whip up a frenzy and push the crowd forward to the police line...

@rbreich

As David Sirota points out, the protests will fail unless people organize behind a platform. Otherwise, all the protest amounts to is complaining and complaining is not a strategy.
