    I mean a court decision may not matter much to a victim of ICE, yes. Fighting in the courts is one avenue of attack.
    But what I mean by this, is that every executive order that Trump has done so far to try and steal the election has been overturned. Executive oder 14248 (The one which attempted to force ID for voting) has been permanently blocked into taking effect. His other executive order 14399 (which tried to stop mail in voting) has also been blocked nationwide. Even if these somehow are fast-tracked to the Supreme court and the assholes rule in favor of Trump, the midterms are less than three months away, there’s no way for them to be implemented in time. Essentially his attempt to take over the elections through executive order has been thwarted.

    Now, will he do what you predict, and send his goons to sieze ballots, arrest democrats, and just do a full on coup d’état? Well possibly (hopefully not.) But seeing how Jan.6th went for him I somehow doubt it. But if this (unlikely event imo) were to happen, it wouldn’t be “too late” to fight back, that’s when the real fight begins.

    I mean if you’re just asking for violent revolution beforehand to overthrow the fascists and destroy the exploitative system, etc all, regardless of the election, well good luck with that. I don’t think you’ll get any normies on board with overthrowing the government “just because.”

    And I say “just because,” as that’s how normie John Q. Taxpayer looks at it. Those are the people you’ll need on board to be successful, and they’re not going to go along with it, even if it’s justified. The crimes and corruption and exploitation this government engages is angers people like you and me, but to regular people all they care about is their job, and how much Gas is per gallon, and if they can pay rent next month. You’ll have zero success motivating these people to approve of your revolution without some kind of an event, Like say Trump doing a coup.
