    You wish it was clean up time. There’s still theoretically three more years, and that’s assuming there’s not an attempt at a third term.

            Hot take and so easy to type out with nothing at stake for you, but I’ll reply anyway.

            With stakes like these, being stupid and trying to do something you know you’ll fail at helps nobody, and actually hurts whatever cause you would have eventually joined. When the things I am good at are needed to topple a tyrant, I’ll answer the call. I can’t help if I’m dead or locked up. I’m not a person that can get a movement off the ground and inspire enough people to join and act in a coordinated fashion that it actually succeeds. Very, very few people are capable of that. That’s why we are where we are right now.

          This person gets it.

          We need to wait until it is not an actual crime. Rebellion is illegal, until it isn’t.

          I keep imagining a tipping point where a large percentage of the population wakes up one day and smacks their forehead while saying “OMG, the corruption won’t stop because the people that would vote to stop the corruption are all corrupt” … then they start assembling guillotines.

        Yeah, but, using our guns??? What an unspeakable idea! I mean honestly. Who’s ever heard of a shooting happening in the USA???

      Pretty much, yeah. Starts out seeming like she’s trying to stop a kid from a bad decision, then instead of a bunch of toys falling down or whatever, leopards ate their face. So like any good parent, she helps them start cleaning up from the consequences of their actions.

    Yep, unfortunately trump supporting men are just toddlers in disguise like their cult leader, so their wives have to herd them into doing the right thing.

        Yeah… it’s more of a combined educational-, economical- and cult-problem, paired with a bad political system. It can affect anyone depending on their situation in life, causing them to be either incompetent, blinded in some way or outright radicalized.
