What I •do• feel confident about is this:
1. It is crucial to fight tooth and nail immediately, through political, legal, and social channels. No “wait and see.” The question is in what ways to act now, not •whether• to act.
2. There will not be sufficient opposition to this coup attempt to stop it until / unless it creates noticeable damage in people’s lives. Our question is how to make people (public and oligarchs both) perceive Trump-Musk as a threat to their personal well-being as quickly as possible.
