LPT: Worried about martial law being declared in response to mass peaceful protest? Then you already have no rights guaranteed to you so you lose nothing by applying other means to stop injustice (self.lifeprotips)

This LPT doesn’t violate the community rule against illegal advice because in this purely hypothetical scenario the law means nothing

Not accurate. In 2021 the Supreme Court was split 6-3 in Republican favor.

Also, the Senate was super split with 50 Republicans, 48 Democrats, and 2 Independent Senators (who, although they caucused with the Democrats, wouldn't necessarily vote in lockstep) -- and two of the Democrats (Manchin and Sinema) seemed more interested in obstructing things than in the party's agenda.

You'd have a better argument if you'd brought up the ACA, IMO. The numbers in Congress favored the Dems more in 2009-2011.
