Just a thought. Mother's Day is on May 11th. People with children, time to use leverage. If you have MAGAt parents (most likely a maga father and mother whose learned to ignore the worst in her husband) make it clear that they won't be able to see their grandkids for the month of May. You don't get to actively destroy the country/world you and your children have to live in, then expect us to give you access to your grand children. Period. My dad is a magat(although suddenly since Trump got elected and started tanking the stock market, and Tesla is on a downward spiral, his vocal support of Trump\Musk has suddenly gone silent).
He'll be dead before he realizes how wrong he was. Don't care, I'll get his money, and can use it to fund the resistance... But my mom, your mom, they do care, greatly. Not having access to grandkids will crush them. Put them to work, on the phones, calling representatives to demand for Trump's forceful removal. Make it clear that if Trump's still in office at the end of the month, the ban extends, and so on.
Their generation fucking sold out their own kids and got us into this mess. They aren't going to feel the effects of a taking economy and country for several years. But we can make our parents feel the effects immediately by denying them affection and contact. It is our right and it is our most powerful tool.
Make it clear they will either assist with the removal of Trump or they will be forgotten. No funeral, no burial, no grave site you'll be cremated and the ashes will be flushed down the toilet where they belong unless you undid what you have done.
