The preceding phrase is exactly right, and for that reason I don't know
whether those things are happening.

What can the opposition say? Reading between the lines in your "only in
secure chat" mention, I think that you agree the time of talk being
effective is past. I spent a lot of time campaigning for, and a lot of
money contributing to Kamala Harris, because I knew that election would
be the last time words counted if the election went the wrong way. 

I've said this before but let me repeat. I'm not a Democrat, I'm an
Anti-republican. I don't diss Democratic candidates. I don't vote for
the likes of Nader, Stein and Sanders, nor do I do protest votes or
fail to vote because of some Mideast war or current Democrats not
working hard enough for Cherokee single mothers with identical twin
lesbian daughters under 5'2".

As an Anti-republican, I know that the worst Democrat is far better for
that Cherokee mother than the best republican. I know that the perfect
is the enemy of the good. I know that it's about priorities, and
helping the most people in hopes that some day we can help everybody.

And let's talk about this stupid idea of gun control. First of all,
rural Democrats often have firearms, and some of the "no guns for
anyone" crazies are causing them to vote less Democratic. Second, the
slightly less than 1000 mass shooting deaths per year will be dwarfed
by the republican regime's upcoming repeals or destructions of social
security, medicare, the country's health systems, etc. In 2020 trump's
fiddling while Rome burned probably cost a couple hundred thousand
lives. By advocating "gun control" and refusing to arm themselves,
Liberals or Progressives or whatever made the same mistake as Ukraine
did when it gave up its nuclear weapons, and are getting the same
result.

The best we can hope for is that when trump dies, the ensuing civil war
between all his lieutenants will open a window of opportunity for
democracy, or at least turn the US powerless so no further harm is done.

Oh, I can answer that. The figure heads are worse, because this is no
chicken and egg: The figureheads are the cause of the impotence. For at
least 35 years, republicans have been cheaping education,
badmouthing teachers, encouraging K-12 schooling in religious schools,
and home schooling. Follow the money: The republicans knew that the
less one is educated, the more one is likely to believe and act on
republican lies.

As far as post-election impotence, what can non-republican politicians
legally and constitutionally do to fight this shit? At this point,
words alone are powerless. And if they're planing to go illegal or
unconstitutional, like you said, secure chat with utmost OpSec applied.

Ron, I'm very sorry my nation's leadership drug Canada and the rest of
this world into this bullshit.
