It is beyond naive to think that the general population has any ability whatsoever to do anything about the blatant illegality exhibited every day by the Trump administration. Hell, even those in Congress opposed to Trump have no ability to do a single thing to stop him. Protests? What will that accomplish (other than possibly endangering yourself and your own liberties)? Calling your representative to tell them how you feel? They already know, and they have no ability or no desire to do anything about it. U.S. Senator Cory Booker gave a much-lauded 25+ hour speech and guess what it accomplished? Nothing at all. Another U.S. Senator traveled to El Salvador to meet with one of the prisoners being illegal held there, and guess what changed? Nothing.
Elections matter, and our misguided populace elected Trump and his ilk. There's nothing that can be done about it until -- or more likely, unless there is -- a future election. How is it not registering that the Trumpublicans control all branches of government, and they are pleased to do whatever they want to tear down laws, rights, freedoms, government order, fairness, history, science, medicine, traditions, and decency?
The Trump administration and his enablers in Congress and the courts could not give a Single F*ck about what you or I think. On the contrary, many take glee in causing grief for those who are bothered by this administration's actions. Banging on a drum and chanting with protest signs and calling or emailing representatives is as useful as pissing in the wind. And violence clearly is no answer and would be just as futile.
