This stuff is such a crock of shit. I cannot wait for it to be over.

Does anyone have any effective strategies for moving along the end of this administration aside from law suits that fits a substantialy smaller budget and doesn’t create possible legal risk?

I did start looking into municipal campaign finance reform as one angle, but that seems pretty indirect though certainly important

The best semi-realistic chance for a quick end is for Trump to follow through on all his tariff threats (he's still not enacted most of it, even after his "no really guys, at midnight [by which I mean this coming weekend, through early next month] I'm actually doing it" announcement-event he made a big deal out of) and then stick with it, and maybe also do something crazy with the Fed. Though the tariffs alone might be enough, given a (very) few months of it.

Economic turmoil that affects lots of ordinary people is one of the quickest ways to end or effectively cripple a government.

Following through on any of his various threatened military actions against allies & neighbors might also do it, between extreme economic disruption and people being unwilling to e.g. kill or die over war with Canada or Mexico or Denmark.

Basically, escalation from him in ways that are so unacceptable & painful to voters that it gets lots of people not just upset, but angry, en masse and all at once. But also confining this to actions he's expressed intent to do (or even has said he is doing, but in fact has not yet). Doesn't necessarily have to manifest as outright civil unrest, exactly, could just mean such an overwhelming volume of pissed off phone calls and in-person confrontations with congresscritters that they finally get more afraid of voters than of Trump, and reign him in.

Yeah, if I could roll out some sort of transparency in political advertising statute that applies to orgs with foot prints in la, Atlanta and nyc at the same time and gave a nonprofit ready to launch that provides some hosted shared platform software to the respective local municipal campaign finance offices, I think that would be an important intermediate step to force finance reform. Even if it got struck down later.

Sign on to help fix gerrymandering in your state. A combination of redistricting commission and jungle primaries would do nicely.

The big problem right now is that all the Republican congresscritters are effectively safe even with all this bullshit going on. They do not fear a general election at all--thus why none of them feel the need to engage with their constituents.

Ranked-choice voting would be nice but is insufficient by itself.
