how? most of us that know how to fight only know one way to do it, and we cant talk about that out loud
That's the emergency escape hatch route -- the `better than slave' route. But there is another way though, and its overlooked because you have a partly impotent filter muzzling your power.
When you have a party/faction that does on a party scale what Trump did individually (keep its promises that are within its power, pursue the goals you said you would) --- then you can stand up. But when you have types like Cheney and Kinzinger and similar wobbles "blunting" the voice you want the party to speak with, impotence ensues.
The first step is getting party remade to be that assertive and focused. November will determine if elections even still work -- there is no way this crew would remain in power if they do --- after that, the challenge will be preventing recurrences such as Ryan's incoherent handling of the 2016 victory.
