2. Let's make sure we get the results we're hoping for, first...!

Yes, I agree that mass resistance may be necessary if 45 refuses to accept an election loss. But, if you remember, there was a lot of concern that he might mobilize his followers to violence after his expected loss in 2016, too...and everyone who was focused on that possibility received a rude awakening.

Right now, and until the last polls close on November 3rd, our focus needs to be on GOTV and every other possible step to ensure we don't get a replay of four years ago. Once the results are in (if they're favorable), we can spend a night celebrating -- and then be ready to hit the streets should 45 show signs of trying to hang on to the presidency regardless.
