rise up collectively and topple this craziness before it comes to the point of needing guns.

Too late. We had that opportunity in November and failed.

Fascism is here, now, in America. That is undeniable. And fascism has never, ever in history, just given up and gone home when asked. It has ALWAYS required force. A lot of people probably aren't ready to hear this, but the only way this ends is with bloodshed. Probably a lot.

Unless you have other ideas. The only other one I can think of is a general strike. Shutting the country completely down until our demands are met. But that requires the type of solidarity you wouldn't even see in a functional society, which we are not. So that's not a realistic option.
