7. What 'might be too late'?...

how to respond?

So, the nation should accept (a) elimination of the income tax and replacing it with tariffs (huge economic disruption within the nation);

Internment of homeless;
Deportment of millions because of their immigration status (probably only the brown people, not so much the white ones);
Using the military to enforce laws within the blue cities (that will definitely change our view of the military and the military has never been noted for their views on civil freedoms in occupied territories);
Accepting the MAGA intolerance toward POC, Gays, etc.;
Promoting the re-introduction of Jim Crows laws as legal again;
And, one has not even touched on the Right’s hatred of women and their rights;
Shall we tolerate Trump/GOP/Putin putting their political enemies into prison or killing them (once he starts that - its a whole new ball game);

Laughing, I wouldn’t put it pass Trump to sell Alaska back to Russia - for enough money in his personal bank account;

We might be lucky if all that happens is the nation decides to split.
