1. If they refuse to accept losing the midterms

That’s the breaking point. Liberals have guns too.

2. we have not, to my knowledge, been organizing or training

which puts us about 10 years behind gen flynns militias.

a guerilla war vs modern surveillance and drone swarms?

not saying i won't help, but if one of the dei generals fired by hegseth wants to take charge now might be the time.

3. True, we need to be prepared

We weren’t ready for the 1/6 insurrection because it seemed (at the time) impossible to believe they would actually do something like that. We know better now. We can’t continue thinking they’re just going to accept the results of a fair election.

4. So much ignorance, mythology and fearmongering

Republicans can’t “refuse to seat Dems”.

On January 3, 2027 all congressional members-elect, as certified by their respective states, convene at the Capitol and select a speaker. Since there will be more Democratic members-elect than Republicans, that speaker will also be a Dem. The new speaker then swears in the rest of the members-elect en masse.

The reiterate, Johnson will not be speaker on January 3, 2027 when the new congress convenes for the first time. On that date, there is no congress until the new speaker has sworn the members-elect in.

There is a mechanism for objecting to the seating of a member-elect at the beginning of a new congress, and there’s a reason it hasn’t been used in over 100 years: because it would result in a tit-for-tat objection against every member-elect, resulting in no member of congress being sworn in that day, except for the speaker.
