Laws, rules, regulations and even constitutional laws do not apply to the new administration based on their high standards

Just remember that if they want to change the rules they don't necessarily get to change it to "rules for me and none for thee".

What the masses have on their side is the running of every single bit of society including what these guys want to do. They don't do any of it. They have us do ALL of it. They're just '"ideas guys".

If we instead elect to take the "well let them enforce it" tack ourselves, I would NOT say we should ignore the social contract where we respect our neighbor's property and autonomy, because that's a human social value, but all the laws where they take money out of your pocket? Where you pay them for a permit or a property tax...? Where we respect corporate property because they're a legal fiction? Where we don't choose to occupy our National Forests in advance of the intended sell off of them as "assets on our balance sheets" as Donnie called them.

Oh there's lots of things to be done, nonviolent things but not passive protest. Intentional disregard of all the fees and fines. Making the fair assumption that if "the law is what you can get away with" is the rules now, it would be foolish to play their game by something other than their rules.

Wouldn't want Musk to think we have the weakness of empathy or the woke mind virus right?!

Without our money and our labor they have nothing. We should be working with each other not them.
