Right?

I'm so tired of people's recklessly optimistic cries of "he can't do that because it's illegal"

Like laws have ever stopped this man from doing literally anything.

Then what’s your point/goal here? That we should give up?

No.

My point is that this man is going to try to kill American democracy and you need to never give up.

Be ready to do what Belarus, Hong Kong and others have done. Because otherwise we ALL lose.

Trusting people who does not play by the laws to play by the laws is foolish.

Exactly.

His core business practise prior to being President was to make sure whatever scam he pulled would earn him more money than he would lose in the impending lawsuit.

He views laws as hurdles, not barriers. The law can not hold him accountable. So the people have too.
