Intolerable Oppression

I wonder how much oppression we must suffer before the American people rise up? The tyranny of Trump Musk is not going to be stopped by conventional democratic means. This is an authoritarian takeover of our democracy. It is an extreme situation that may require an extreme response.

The Declaration of Independence states:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

We must never do this:
