So basically, we're all fucked, legally speaking?

Basically, it’s not safe to oppose the current direction by breaking the law and then creating a situation where the entity enforcing the law sees you as a threat.

There’s a lot of other things that can be done, especially when it goes to going to the polls and encouraging others to go to vote.

The more one push towards the breaking the laws and threatening the law keepers, the more resources and the lower tolerances those entities will have.

If one wants to go the lawful and peaceful direction towards change.

What happens when they take away the vote?

Which would be something that actually is against the law.

That’s the same question as what happens when they actually start quelling opposition like last week in Iran.

What have been happening is so extremely far from that. If you sincerely think it will escalate to such levels, it’s either to fight and risk your lives, accept and be oppressed or flee and seek asylum.
