I mean I'm not gonna. I've got shit to do. I've got shit to do like tomorrow. I got dreams and stuff.

My biggest hope is that things are being prepared behind the scenes to deal with everything. I don't really have any faith thats happening, but I hope it is.

I would expect nobody to do anything.

The upshot is that this cuts both ways. The downside is that the natural result of nobody doing anything is things become worse in a variety of ways that are unpleasant but not existential threats to capital or business
Why not go all in?
Remember when our government said a sitting president can't be prosecuted so the 36 time felon that was not a sitting president or president elect couldn't be prosecuted? That moment right there was the end. That was the change. Obviously you don't let the criminal grab more power. Obviously.

Doom/gloom aside, this stuff takes time to respond to within legal frameworks.

They're moving so fast that they are 'flooding the zone'. Introducing so many enemies to target in the area while the law is equipped with a slingshot

Otherwise you're asking if someone is going to commit crimes to stop him.

Why are government conspiracies so much more competent in fiction than real life? :\

Congress and the courts will quietly deal with the dumbest EOs, while happily facilitating the ones which help line their pockets.

I think they're also preparing to quietly deal with Musk by allowing him to be caught red handed. He can't be controlled like Trump can because Trump just needs a word of praise and a promise he can go home. Musk wants a trillion dollars and he won't stop until he gets it.

All the can do is lawsuits I think, and hope the judges agree with them.
Trump is pursuing a chaotic far-right overthrow of existing US government norms and checks and balances, trying to destroy our way of life.
I'm convinced the most drastic response is going to come from people who are/were MAGA.

This is the best answer. Various AGs and groups have been filing lawsuits over a lot of these EOs, but the court system does not move quickly. I don't know how a lot of this stuff is going to shake out, but people are trying to do something about all this.
"If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be."
Nope. At least not any time soon. The only people who could are Congress and the SCOTUS and they're both controlled by Republican allies who are willing to let them do as they please.

The only hope is that Trump and Elon fuck things up so badly and provoke such public anger that their allies turn on them out of a sense of self-preservation.

Sad that a once great nation has been reduced to this.

Same.

I said it before and will again. They are taking away all regulations and safety nets. They are making drugs pricier. They are making life a living hell. Soon, many, many more people will be at the point where they'll have nothing left to lose and if they have any sense of who is at fault, it's only a matter of time before another attack happens against Republicans.

And I for one, ain't seen nothing.

By the time the courts respond (and it's at best very questionable that they'd do anything at all), it's already too late. It's a fire sale on anything Musk can get his hands on.
Yes we're being condescending
Yes that means we're talking down to you
Congress CAN but considering the majority is held by republicans who fully support what hes doing despite it going against several things, they wont

And this is the legal way, the illegal way I cant say but everyone knows
This is my sig. Don't like it, then don't look at it.

If the protests clog things up though, that's a win yes?

I don't want to sound full doomer, but it feels pretty hopeless.

Like the clear solution here is through courts, but that takes a ton of time, and the Heritage Foundation has spent years stuffing courts all the way up to the SCOTUS, and you know they're all going to rule for Trump every single time.

I don't know what other avenues you can realistically pursue.

There's a reason hero's are rare...most folks are cowardly and greedy. Hell I know my reflexes and skills made it clear I'm no action star, still sucks knowing it though.

The US military maybe. And yes, before you say it. I'm not talking about the rank and file grunts. I know they like Trump. But I've heard all the top generals hate him
