Yes Republicans should be dissolved as a party but who’s going to do that? Yes under a trump regime you and every protestor will be arrested – and you’ll stay arrested. If trump gets in, it will come to what to say but you’ll have zero power to do anything about it under a brutally repressive maga regime.
Better to take power the only viable way, which is to replace one of the two existing parties. Take over the democratic party just like the magas took over the republican party. It can be done but we have to keep the fascists from taking control first.

“The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.”
We weren’t vigilant.
