  • It’s a shame you don’t know history but it’s easy to understand. You’re mad at what’s happening and not listening to what others are saying.

    What other parallel would you compare this to? It isn’t some mad king alone with his army - there are massive forces at home keeping him from nuking or dropping a surge of troops like Bush did with Iraq. You seem intent on isolating this as a single unprecedented event and it really isn’t.










  • Trump worries about the crowd when he is doing something unpopular but that popularity doesn’t control his actions directly. The end result is protesting his actions is the most effective way to stop things like nuking Iran.

    The way this entire thing works in America is that the House of Representatives gets to speak for you. You don’t tell them what to say and often money will corrupt them quickly beyond any interest in what they should be doing - but - for a few years the new ones try to listen to the public.

    On the other end is Trump and the Republicans who control the House and Senate. Without the House the heinous acts and laws don’t pass. He needs the House to stay in control.

    We, The People, don’t get to say “stop the war” but we do get to stop the economy and that will stop the House, which will stop the war.

    We are doing our best to be the peace we want to see in the world and it starts by not being violent. It will take time, like the Republicans took 20 years to be able to be so openly fascist, so clearly it will take time to undo the damage.
