It's a really good question. Things have been uncomfortable, but so far we're getting what we paid for, which I think doesn't warrant mass action. e.g. So far this is what the people who voted for the current administration wanted, and they were a majority. One question I keep coming back to is whether civil unrest is going to go the way of dating, hanging at the local pub, and most other forms of in person activities, and basically get replaced by staying at home by yourself, looking at a screen, and being too distracted to participate. People had a hard enough time organizing protests in bygone eras, when there was nothing else to do. If we were to cross a meaningful threshold of governmental abuse, is anyone going to step outside, away from their screens?

> So far this is what the people who voted for the current administration wanted, and they were a majority. Did the MAGA crowed redefine 49.8% as a majority recently? I seem to have missed that. I don't think the computer screen is responsible here. 2 years from now, (minus a small handful of states), the Democratic candidate is going to be elected as they were last year or the Republican candidate is going to be elected as they were last year. There just isn't a significant risk of losing your position over an issue; you'll see say sure the senate flip from 60-40 to 40-60 but you don't see if go 80-20.
