100% agree we have an unfair fight with an opponent who doesn't play by the rules.

It's their job to speak for the masses, that's the point of being elected in a democratic authority. If only hushed whispers are spoken in a room full of aggressive baboons, who is going to hear that voice of reason? Law follows precedence and there is no precedence for a coup of the US American government, so what rule of law are they exactly following? The status quo? We need to get uncomfortable, only then will things change.
