I get that people are upset, and I fully understand the gravity of this situation. But many here are placing too much hope in a "Civil War" or the insurrection act to save the day. Neither of those things may happen.

If they don't happen, elections do not just disappear over night, and not every election can be rigged, especially at the local level. You had better be ready to primary / recall / impeach people, even run against them if need be. You need to start NOW working your way onto election boards, and city councils. You'll have to do this weather Trump stays president or not; so you might as well get used to the idea now. The issue we are facing is not something that can be gotten rid of quickly. We are in the long game. We've had it easy the past 4 years; but that's over. There is no quick fix, the entire system must be cleaned out.

There are more ways to fight, then just physical violence. We need to be ready to use them, and start using them now.

They can't rig the ones that matter if we have enough of a presence at the local level. That's why we need to start there and work up.
