Should there be a government in exile that can take charge when this regime fails?

We don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

This regime has been in power for about 1 month and we can see the direction we are headed. It is not a good destination.

Should someone begin to organize a government that can take over and govern when this regime fails? I cannot imagine it will succeed. We would need an executive, a Secretary of State, a Defense Secretary, and a WH spokesman that can be honest with the people.

We would also need an Attorney-General and a Justice Dept that works for the rule of law.

Any volunteers?

If we can’t take control of Congress, we can’t do anything

He was putting his regime together for the last 4 years. It's almost as if Joe Biden was never the elected President? Trump maintained the facade of leader even when Biden was in the White House, in my opinion. He was just waiting for his moment to steal an election.

I don't see a solution. Things haven't gotten bad enough yet. More Americans need to lose everything before they rise up and demand it be stopped. Congressional action involving both parties will be the only (peaceful) solution.
