The only thing keeping most people quiet is the idea that Trump is temporary. This will not bode well for stability.
No one votes for someone to be a president for 4 years thinking it's just temporary.
By temporary and quiet, I think the previous poster means: The reason why there has not been more resistance or assassination attempts is that everone expects Trump to die from uninflicted causes soon enough. It's not worth sacrificing your own life to see it happen sooner than later.
The entire world is a powder keg where everyone is hoping that the fuse goes out before it explodes. That is why nobody is stopping Trump. This includes the people in GOP who know fully well that they're on the wrong path. You can tell because they've stopped blowing air on the fuse. Except for Vance and Elon. Those idiots want the world to explode.
Waiting it out is still a bad solution, because it will enable more to follow his example.
There's still a pretty good chance that eventually someone who Trump/DOGE causes to lose their job will have a "going postal" response.
Especially if that person has other stressors in their life that have already put them on "I have nothing to live for anymore" edge. (Remember the guy in the movie "Falling Down"?)
We've all become complacent (incl Canadians). Few are willing to die, get injured, be fired or end up in jail in El Salvador because they were in the fight 'too early'.
By the time America wakes up to the need for battle Project 2025 will be (almost?) completed and it will be too late to change course.
Trump may be temporary , but his puppetmasters aren't.
