What if as many as possible agree

to not enforce any executive order from the motherfucker.

I know it would be tough for many - they would be fired but what if those in charge of firing them refused. Let's see if we can get as many rational people at schools, businesses, everything to, at the same time, sign a letter preemptively refusing to enforce his bullshit. The country can't function without 50% of its people. Universal non-compliance/General strike unless passed by congress and deemed constitutional - horrible stuff could still happen but it seems like something.

When people have little to nothing to lose - that is when they become “brave” enough. And I understand that completely. I have lots of material things to lose, but I’m old and the greater part of my life is behind me. The material things will mean less than a possible contribution I can make on ensuring a better future for my children and grandchildren. Not to mention the world at large; the future of the Earth.
Maybe people will realize that by not fighting, they will lose anyway - but that’s not the way to bet. It usually only happens when they have already lost what they treasure.
