5. That's the big question...

If we resist physically, we get the shit beat out of us.

If we use more force than "resisting", we get shot and killed. And that won't stop their efforts. In fact, that is their goal.

We can film and hamper their efforts, under the risk of getting beat up or killed.

This has to change from the top down.

What has the possibility of changing this from the top down are massive protests, or a general strike. I do not think enough mass of people could be summoned to spur a general strike.

They have the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judiciary. Federal judges lower than the Supreme Court can also slow them down or hamper them, but any significant road block will be brought to the Supremes, who are also in Trump's pocket.

It's gone way too far, and now we are behind the 8 ball.

I'm not saying we are out numbered, I'm not saying it's impossible to stop. They don't have "more" weapons, but they have the "more important" weapons.
