There is a rebellion against the US Govt and it is being perpetrated by the band of seditionists in the WH. They are trying to topple our government. They are trying to take over our government. They are actively dismantling our government for their own aims.

We the People are our government. They are supposed to be representing We the People and protecting the Constitution and the interests of the citizens of the US - they are not doing so. Why is this not the sedition our Founders worried about? Is there a mechanism to respond to it? With the abdication of the R's in Congress, and the corruption of SCOTUS, what other entity can act? Can the Governors? Can the other courts?

I started asking months ago - what would our Founders do?
