I take issue with writing off the MAGA Americans. They have real concerns that aren’t being addressed: our border is a disaster, our ideal of equality of opportunity is being overshadowed by a forced ‘equity’, education appears to no longer reward excellence, focusing more on safe spaces and affinity groups and..., external threats grow without a decisive response, or an attempt to rebuild our shriveled industrial base.
Biden was supposed to be a moderate Democrat. He has been anything but...
They have a point. A serious point. Trump, for all his faults, takes these issues very seriously and will do something about it.
I am not a MAGA dude. But, they are our fellow Americans, our sisters and brothers. I am sure our foes see our division and are chuckling, trying to make it worse, because the way they win is by dividing us.
The US Republic rests on the people of the US. If Trump manages to become President it will mean that a majority (or at least a plurality) of voters are voting for incompetence, corruption and the end of the US experiment.
The people will have spoken and as far as I'm concerned, the US, as we have know it, will be over. I'm not joining your "resistance". I will not risk my wealth and liberty in the face of a people that could not manage to support its history and traditions.
Anyone who joins the "resistance" should not delude themselves. There will be no constitutional protections. Resisters will probably be jailed. There may be civil war as the West Coast and the East Coast resist as well.
Good luck with your resistance. I hope that it works. My choice is to stay out of the path of history.
I should, in all honesty, mention that I live and have residency on the Dutch island of Bonaire. When I spend time in the US, it's in Vermont (long live the Green Mountain Boys and Girls).
So if the US goes fascist, I am going to stay as far away as I can.
