Where is our Democratic leadership?

Unfortunately, I do not think words alone are going to stop Trump Musk. I think we are on a precipice where it will be a Civil War or otherwise a Police State. A well crafted argument might motivate some people to some kind of action, but action is what is necessary. The normal political system is not working because Trump Musk is disregarding that constitutional system entirely. The only answer might be the justified use of force.

I do not think that the country will survive to the next election, and Trump Musk would just cancel or rig the next election anyway. I hope that I am wrong but the only solution that I can see is some sort of mass uprising. Lawrence O'Donnell has reported tonight that Musk and DOGE are in the Social Security Administration now. If they kill the upcoming Social Security payments for the next cycle, I imagine that might create some sort of large scale mass reaction, if nothing else will. It is obviously a terrible situation.
