    Look, I agree with everything you just said, but I don’t think you’ve really thought about the implications of how you first said it. Our options are find a way to make peaceful protesting and voting work, fight soon and definitely lose, or wait until the US is collapsing, fight then, almost certainly start the most deadly war in all of human history, and still have a pretty high chance of losing. As much as it has been frustrating and unproductive so far, the first option is still the best for a whole bunch of reasons. Saying that protesting is useless and we’ll have to fight is not a good idea. Maybe it will come to that, but we should be doing everything we can to prevent it, not egg it on.

      I said I worry we will get to that point, not hat we are already there.

      I am VERY aware of what can happen in concerns to violent revolt. I grew up with a father who consulted NATO countries on how to maintain infrastructure to supply aircraft engine rooms in foreign, and forward operating bases. I probably know more than 99.9% of the people on this network exactly how dire a fight with the US military could be like.
