Imagine all the jobs that would be lost if we stopped using zyklon b to gas undesirables! Wrings hands.

Sorry, Hugo Boss

You are clearly not wrong. However, the question I would return with: if not violence, what mechanism for change will actually move a lever?

I'm certainly at my most pessimistic moment, but sincerely I don't see how this changes for your countrymen at this point without violence...? What realistic compromise could we even draw up? The two sides are diametrically opposed. There isn't common ground because there isn't even a common reality. The legal system seems righed and there is no leadership. You have touched on some of these points yourself.

I'll take a try at what a compromise might look like:

-- Trump agrees to go door to door with Minnesota Police. This gurantees:

1. The process is done slowly and unchaotically. This is what MN wants.
2. Every single address is searched and the potential for immigrant removal is near 100%. This is what Trump wants.

This solution would save lives, but also give up significant civil liberties. It's the best I can think up. Hopefully you are more creative than I am.

My last comment: I too have a family. And many extended family. And friends across Canada. It is on behalf of these people that I'm so passionate. And I can also appreciate your concerns also because of these same people. These are two sides of the same coin.

There is something your citizenry could do, but unfortunately they lack the unity to do it nor can most of them put up with the hardship it would entail. The size of the nation in terms of distance isn’t a problem, smaller populations with just as much distance have successfully protested in unity. It’s unity itself and the inability to put up with hardship.

That is to stop work, stop buying anything you can, grind the means of production to a halt. Yeah, people would lose jobs they don’t want, healthcare which is inadequate anyway and housing that will still be available once the goal is achieved, which is to force the houses to act on impeachment and whatever amendments and institutional rules exist to remove this administration.

Violence or inciting violence is not the answer and I think I’d be preaching to the converted on this one, you said you were an ex serviceman. Sure, all your citizens should have on hand whatever means they can to defend themselves (as is their constitutional right) but you know as well as I do where that will end up.

The easiest method to stop this is voting; in every election where the position requires election from the people, you’re there. You tell your employer you will be before you take a new job, it’s that important. That’s why the Republicans are where they are, because their people vote. It might be the only redeeming quality they have.

That one’s done now though. The next easiest is what I suggested above and it has to be done, or you’re done because I can’t see a fair midterm happening. They have to be removed. It’ll work if enough stop.
