Flag flown upside down as sign of distress outside of US State Department building today

Outdated data. The votes were not done being counted on November 10th. Trump got 49.8% to Harris' 48.3%

They still had third places where they could organize face-to-face. Think union halls, fraternal organizations (which us Millennials only know about from old cartoons), churches, etc.
See also this Adam Conover video, which isn't specifically about organizing to protest but nevertheless is pretty insightful about it.

You reminded me me of when I was going through my dystopian fiction phase of reading the first time...I had a big stack of said novels to buy at Barnes and Noble.
They asked if I wanted to sign up for their loyalty card and I was so taken aback. Like...no...I do not want to be in your list.

Ah. Fair enough. Last time I had seen it it was more than 50% still. Well then by a technicality not a majority then. I do love a technically correct statement so I'll give you that one.
Still. More people voted for this than didn't vote for this.

Is that the State Department flag or is it a flag near the State Department?
-
That's not the final count

Still. More people voted for this than didn't vote for this.
I don't want to pile on, but if less than 50% voted for this, then more than 50% voted against it. The people voting against it didn't vote for the same thing, but they did vote against this.

Kudos to the person who is sending the correct message. Everyone who believes in protecting the US Constitution should fly the US flag upside down.

This is the message of the enemy. I am not sure what there is to be done, to say this:
There’s nothing that can be done.
is to give up. The only thing that we ordinary people can know is that the democratic party is unable/unwilling to form an effective resistance right now.

"50+ bought in the last month" hmmmmm

Like when Elon gets rid of "all regulations" make private bounty hunters/hitman legal again?

This is a strong reason why I would think it a tactical error to mess with the elections. Elections are the pressure valve that people are willing to wait for. You can do so much harm and all is forgiven if you step down after an election loss.
Take away that mechanism, and you put all your leadership at huge risk, for minor benefit (history has shown they can get their way like 90% of the time anyway, the "left" will barely even say anything about their material goals and let them stand).
