Even if there was, it wouldn't stop what's happening. The current administration gives no fucks about public opinion. If they did they wouldn't have repeatedly lied in their campaign nor would they be following the largely unpopular Project 2025

What we can do about it is start forming mutual aid networks and unions. These will help us form a cohesive front against the fast forming authoritarian government that's being installed.
If anyone wants resources to learn more about this you can find a rough draft here.

The only thing thats stopping Musk at this point is an insane leftist with too many drones and etch-a-sketches laying around.
Build me the mind palace that makes this make sense. I am intrigued
If they didnt care about public opinion, they wouldn't have lied.
If they didn't care about public opinion, they wouldn't be pressuring media to squash knowledge of it so hard.
They cared about it in order to get a position of power. Now that they have it they don't care.
I don't think public opinion is going to change the current process at large within the administration. I do however think that public opinion will encourage other departments to stand up to this bullshit.

Republicans don’t give a shit about public opinion
They lie to get in power. Then when they’re in power they do whatever the hell they want.
