I'd be an 'optimist' if I could catch up with them, but they are moving the goal posts too fast.

It's funny that in 2025 people still think that just saying shit on the internet means anything.

Sources, or stfu dude.

The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power. The rule was formulated by Erica Chenoweth in 2013. It arose out of insights originally published by political scientist Mark Lichbach in 1995 in his book The Rebel's Dilemma: Economics, Cognition, and Society.

Non-Violent

Before Trump' first term I didn't think any president would get away with:

• overturn Roe v. Wade
• Accept multi-million dollar bribes from historical enemies
• Be a convicted felon
• Incite an insurrection
• Deploy marines into an American city
• Refuse to return documents of the highest security clearance
• Have publicly supported, criminal proceedings against him dismissed.
• Blatantly destroy the 100+ year friendly relationship with Canada
• Demand personal loyalty pledges from his appointees
• Publicly ask Russia to help him during his presidential campaign
• Ask a govenor to fraudulently manufacture electoral votes
• Public threats to private citizens about revoking their citizenship
• No due process extraditions to brutal, non-American, non-Democratic countries prison's
• Suddenly abandon military bases leaving allies fucked
• Tarrifing the world ... I'm tired of writing this shit.

At this point Trump could bomb a U.S. city, claim it was a terrorist attack, and just dismiss any agency that contradicted him. Fox 'news' would tell their viewers that the Liberals were blaming Trump just because they hate him, and they would fall in line. Any news program that claimed otherwise would be labeled "fake news". The sheep that watch Fox news would cancel any host who dared question Trump.

There is no one holding him accountable for anything. The Supreme Court told him to turn planes around and he just didn't. If Trump dropped a bomb on a U.S. city, assuming you could convince people he did it (which I doubt), who is it that goes to the White House and drag him to court? No one. They wouldn't let anyone in.

The only solution is protest. If 3% of Americans protested things would change. Historically, 3% is the number. But the longer they wait the harder it is, and they are all convinced they can't do anything.
