Responding to a now-deleted comment that seemed to suggest a violent response:

What would be the point, honestly?

Calling for his assassination would, rightly in my opinion, be prosecutable.

I'm too demoralized at the moment to hope for what I'd consider an appropriate response by state or federal governments / courts.

The third most likely solution, revolution / civil war, would probably cause far more suffering than any fixes it might enable.

I'm curious if America will soon reach a tipping point where a sizeable portion of its population actually makes an effort to emigrate, rather than just talking about it.

How? Congress has abdicated its role. Trump and his cronies aren’t interested. And the GOP is actively disenfranchising anybody that they consider “other”. State and local governments are only slightly better.

I’m with the poster who suggested emigration. If this chaos continues, I’ll be tempted to renew my UK passport and/or apply for an Irish passport.
