American Grownups, where is your bright red line in the current US Administration that, if crossed, will result in you taking more dramatic action?
Serious action could range from joining a resistance beyond just voting, all the way to emigrating.
Please reply by stating what red line your watching for, and what you think you'd be forced to do if it's crossed.
Some sample red lines offered. I'm not saying that these will be definitely be crossed and some of them seem unlikely right now, but they are all possibilities that could be triggers for a "Well, fuck this" moment. You may be perfectly fine with some of these. I'm well aware that some of these fly in the face of the Constitution, but that may not be the protection you think it is.
