I've been thinking a lot about what should happen if Trump were to secure presidential office beyond the terms outlined by the United States Constitution. At what point does the American citizen take action? At what point does the American citizen make the conscious decision to partake in stopping what may become a Dictatorship in what many consider to be the seat of democracy? And what do we do about it? What action can I take as a citizen of the United States to preserve our system of government?
Where do we draw the line? Where do we begin? When do we begin? How do we begin?
Concrete Actions I Can Take
1. Voice my opinion
2. Write

6. Practice the First Amendment.
5. Private acts of pacifist dissent.
