    We need to be ready to march in the streets if SCOTUS tries to pull some fuckery. They’re not even supposed to be in the loop on elections. That’s the newly elected Congress’ job.

      We need to be ready to march in the streets if entities like local precinct offices or the Georgia Election Board try to pull some fuckery too, long before the fuckery even makes it to the MAGA SCOTUS.

        If you’re not marching with guillotines at the ready, there is no point in marching at all.

      Hate to break it to ya, but marching in the streets won’t solve this. More drastic measures would have to take place, and frankly I don’t see that happening.

        On the contrary a massive number of people on the streets is the only way we’ve seen effective change in the past couple decades. Violence has led to protracted conflicts with a low rate of success.

            Ukraine is probably the most recent example. Russia invaded them but before that they threw their president out purely with people in the street.

            In Egypt they caused a change of governance that wasn’t a total improvement but was an improvement.

            In Tunisia and Algeria they got favorable changes in government.

        If SC tries to hand the country over to a lying fascist insurrectionist there will be drastic measures. If they don’t respect the rule of law then that’s the breaking point where we stop respecting their laws. Biden has insane immunity coverage courtesy of the SC so we can start with some “official acts” of removal and see how all this plays out.

          LARP. Sounds amazing, really. But they stopped respecting the law long ago and nobody has done or will do jack shit about it.

          I like to think so, but I honestly think people would maybe protest a bit but then everyone would go back to work and shrug their shoulders. I’d love to be wrong though.

          Liberals have never had the balls to start a revolution, and revolutionaries in the US know better than to let liberals goad them into anything resembling unified action after the last several times
