The next step is to allow this for certain US citizens that they classify with some bullshit term/criteria. Let’s end it this weekend. The longer we wait, the more entrenched he’ll become. Make the armed forces decide who they support now, not later.
Show up to protests and try to leave water/snacks for police, national guard, and first responders, then honestly the best thing to do would be to sit down silently, wave the American flag, and not leave until he’s gone. No screaming, no chants. Provide the world with nothing but images of peaceful, patriotic protestors. Silent, peaceful, generous, but unyielding.
