A comment I saw earlier really struck a chord with me. The guy said:
"If we aren't caught off guard by whatever Trump is planning to do, then the Commies who are actively opposing him sure as hell won't be."
If Trump has to be cryptic and hold his cards close to the chest, then so be it. It's not great for my mental health, as I've never been this stressed out probably ever, but I can and will take two weeks of mental anguish if it means catching the traitors by surprise and winning the day.
I'm not sitting anything out. In Federalist #29, Hamilton wrote:
If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual state. In a single state, if the persons intrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair. The usurpers, clothed with the forms of legal authority, can too often crush the opposition in embryo. The smaller the extent of the territory, the more difficult will it be for the people to form a regular or systematic plan of opposition, and the more easy will it be to defeat their early efforts. Intelligence can be more speedily obtained of their preparations and movements, and the military force in the possession of the usurpers can be more rapidly directed against the part where the opposition has begun. In this situation there must be a peculiar coincidence of circumstances to insure success to the popular resistance.
Now is not the time to rush into battle. The enemy is taunting us right now. They hold all the cards and they want to trick us into doing something rash, which they can then use to utterly demolish us. The time has come at this moment to recoup, lick our wounds, and organize ourselves for the long battle ahead. Reasonably, it would not be prudent for us to do anything until at least the 20th. So, no, I am not "coping", and I am not "sitting this out".
As of right now, Donald Trump is still my President, and I will stand by for his command. If the command comes, I will act. If no command comes, I do nothing. If Donald Trump is no longer my President, I will act.

Cope dude. No one is coming. It’s on us. You can’t stay cozy and sit this out.
