    I do agree that the resistance needs to become more radical, but you don’t just enter the seat of power and unseat the democratically elected president. Like it or not he still has a popular mandate and that needs to be destroyed first; that’s ultimately what civic resistance is all about. Also he has armed security, which can just shoot any intruders in part because of said popular mandate.

      Okay, then how? Because from what I have seen pretty much every official in a position of civil service just resigns to let Trump do as he pleases, so there’s not much of a resistance. Who in civil service is supposed to unseat Trump? DOGE is certainly not gonna do it.

        Absolutely nobody. Trump’s mandate has to be destroyed by widespread popular resistance. Think what Ukraine and Tunisia did and Turkey is doing right now.
