      Donald Trump has the power to stop Trump, and you don’t see me kissing his ass when he shows no signs of using it.

      No they aren’t. The people are. Only ever have been and still are.

      Three or four weeks of even 60% of the population shutting it down and grinding it to a halt, he and his admin will be impeached.

      They had it with the vote too, that’s the easier one.

        There are little to nothing recent precedents of this scenario. Most autocrats fall after their own military turns against them

          It’s with the people here.

          As you said, there’s no precedent and that includes the makeup of the nation. If the people decide to shut down the businesses and military are more likely to drop behind in support and help facilitate the 25th Amendment is it?

          The key with the US is the people, as they always were. For that matter they probably were elsewhere too.

          They just need some unity and be willing to take some hardship.
