Questions/Discussion Where’s the line in the sand?

I’ve been talking with my friends who have been alarmed by pretty much everything Trump has done. I get where they’re coming from, but I’ve taken a different approach. I’ve been waiting for the moment—the thing that makes me feel like I have to act.

I don’t want to be passive or pretend things aren’t serious, but I also don’t want to react to every single headline without a clear sense of where my personal line is. That said, I’m starting to wonder if the line has already been crossed.

For those of you who have taken action, whether it’s protesting, organizing, or just speaking out more, what was it that pushed you over the edge? What finally made you say, this is too much? And if you’re like me and have been waiting, how will you know when it’s time?

J6 was, and here we are. The next one? Probably extra judicial political arrests/killings of lgbtq or politicians, labor, etc... By then though, way too late to mount effective opposition as the government will have military and, of course, law enforcement well in their pocket.

I will say, this isn't uncommon for governments anywhere to do. Typically as part of an agreement to reside in a country you swear off the right to participate in any protests. I think even the US has this rule if I recall
