Best way to break away from the “high road” and start reconnecting with the average person would be for our leaders to drop all this talking around the problem and just say it like it is:
Openly call it a coup and hostile occupation
The most reliable counter to a fascist coup is a popular front uprising.
The most effective thing opposition leaders can do is call the situation what it is & start building it.
We must show that this Govt is as illegitimate as the Vichy Govt was.

But he'll keep pushing his order to shut off federal programs. He wants to take meals from seniors, pre-K from kids, & jobs from veterans.
All so he can give billionaires a tax break.
