We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.

That's why there are limited numbers. The solution is simple, get rid of the restrictions that stop most people. Once enough people lose their job and have their family in danger, they'll protest. They'll do more than protest.
If he cuts social security enough, he might generate the same impulse from seniors who have the time, and the ones who are able will show up quite livid. I don't think he realizes that you can't push people all the way and not have consequences, you do have to keep some semblance of bread and circus intact for control.
