Are you worried about what will happen if Trump won't leave office?
This free pdf by Gene Sharp details measures that civilians, civil society, and governments can take to prevent and block coups d'état and executive usurpations. It also contains specific legislative steps and other measures that governments and non-governmental institutions can follow to prepare for anti-coup resistance.

Or for 5 bucks buy it
Youll be glad.
He was a prof at the Peace Studies department at University of Hawaii and published tremendous work on nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience. Nonviolence works when your opponent has more power. Sound familiar?
Albert Einstein institution in New York City where he worked for a long time also has his publications available for download for free but if you have a couple bucks they can make good use of it.
Gene Sharp was a great man. Hes gone but his work lives on and gives us a map to how to manage if the worst unfolds.
If we wait till then its too late.
Nonviolence has been an effective tool around the world to deal with tyrants.
