That’s my gut reaction too. It’s done. That fucking photo where Trump stood up and did the fist pump with the blood on his face and the American flag in the background:
There’s no beating that. That’s literally like a movie poster. Whether Biden stays or goes, I really don’t think it matters now.

You said it better than I could have done myself. It is time to start preparing the resistance now. Civil disobedience is the only way forward.
