    Though I follow the spirit of your message, doing so would only validate the treasonous behavior and ratchet up the madness. There is nothing lawful about so many things happening today, but we must do better than to stoop to the same lawless tactics.

      Unfortunately dealing with these people in a way that respects the law would not get anywhere. By then these people will be likely very rich and law has a bias towards under punishing (relatively) the rich.

        Not to mention, when you hold back supreme court nominations, gerrymander the shit out of districts, face no punishment for doing these things, I mean, fuck the law. What is it doing? Who is it helping or representing? Then, to be told simply to work within that system is absurd.

            General strikes and boycotts. Find ways to be less dependent on corporations so they don’t receive as much of your money. Unfortunately I don’t think there’s much you can lawfully do as an individual to have a profound effect on the accountability of wealthy and connected people who can financially influence law enforcers.

            Perhaps quietly prepare yourself through acquisition of skills and various implements for a time when equitable rule of law is so asymmetrical that it makes more sense to break the law in order to survive.

            Or just be really really sneaky and hard to catch.
