What do we do, not if, but when, Trump starts arresting his political enemies?

There will be some "Trumped up" charge of course.

I hope people are developing plans for this sort of thing happening. Is there any chance the Dems will fight this like they need to?

I sure hope the courts will be on the side of decency, tradition and the constitution. But I guess it depends where this happens.

must be ready to support lawsuits and defense actions when the shit hits the fan. I've been a supporter of the ACLU since about 1970 and we will need them more than ever, very soon.

I've donated off and on in the past, but yeah, it's serious now.
