I've been in Paris for a week now

88. You are dead-on RIGHT...

... Too many people have their heads in the sand – or up their nether portals – and are not taking this runaway nuclear meltdown-level crisis anywhere near seriously enough. Even the hard-core zealots should be asking themselves, is this what we really want?
Ayn Rand's shitty doorstop "novels" painted a rosy picture of an "Everything for me, and nothing for thee" closed and heavily guarded paradise for the filthy rich, and a polluted, poisonous hellscape for the rest of us. And that is exactly what the evil psychopaths at the Heritage Foundation intend to build on the ashes of America. They, and everyone else you mentioned, are irredeemable monsters consumed with the fever-dream of total dominion over the lives of others, no matter the cost.
The fact that they have more money than they could spend in twenty lifetimes means nothing; they cannot abide the possibility that anyone else has anything. They want it ALL. For Christ's sake, they screech it in public constantly! BELIEVE THEM!
The courts can hand down all the rulings they want; if there's no one willing to enforce them, we're fucked. The FBI, the U.S. Marshals, the Armed Forces, and even a horrifying percentage of state and local law enforcement agencies, are all under the direction of incompetent Trump loyalists who think ruthless patrimonialism is just dandy. Or they will until it affects them directly, which is a rock-hard certainty. They thrive in regimentation, and crave homicidal orders they can obey, otherwise they wouldn't wear uniforms and carry guns. "To Serve and Protect" only applies to the rich and powerful. The rest of us had better assume the position, or eat a bullet.
The namby-pamby Pollyannas who should have our backs think they can ride this out and that they can ask madmen, come, let us reason together. Not in this lifetime, cupcake. They want to kill anyone and anything with the temerity to disagree with the Gangrenous Boil on the Ass of Humanity. Just listen to Stephen Miller, and BELIEVE HIM!
Where we go from here will demand courage and iron-willed resolve. Those who doubt it had best get out of the way.
I need more coffee.
