Several congressmen say they don't want to "override our democracy" (how ironic), but maybe if we up the ante a little bit, and several senators and congressmen know their job won't exist in a few days if they sell out, it might change attitudes a little bit.

Read up on our revolutionary war. We were incredibly disorganized from the onset. There was barely any discernible leadership. Continental Congress was just as useless and feckless as our current Congress.
Every battle win was followed by many more losses. At dozens of points, the struggle seemed futile. The enemy was the strongest force on the face of the planet.
The patriots who persevered were untrained, low morale, barely equipped.
Our ability to organize will manifest out of necessity. Not to be cliche, but it there’s a will, there’s a way. I’d say the only way is to have strong enough will. If there’s no will though, there’s no way.
The French didn’t step in until way later. The continental army made up a small portion of the total forces. Most were just drunks recruited from the local bars.
American gun owners have better weaponry than the Taliban does. They’re still doing pretty good against the US.
Americans have an avg IQ 15 points higher than than the average Afghani.
Americans have WAY more ammo, food, and resources than the Taliban.
Vietnam, same story. VC were outnumbered and outmatched, still ended up winning with sheer force of will.
If you don’t have the stomach for it, or don’t believe in it’s chances, that’s fine. Several of us do believe in ourselves and the worthiness of the cause. I don’t think convincing fellow pedes that we can’t do anything about the end of the constitution doesn’t work in anyone’s favor.
