experiment has come to an end. Resistance will be tried but with trumps Gestapo now funded to the teeth there will be arrests and violence directed at America citizens. There will be deaths many deaths. The justice system is on life support with a completely corrupt DoJ a completely corrupt Supreme Court and local judges. Out military is run by a drunk arrogant power hungry lunatic who has no problem turning troops on American people. There is no where to turn for any of us. Maybe it's time to call on our former ally countries to put pressure on the United States financially and morally and legally somehow. Tell me I'm wrong and tell me what you think.

John Lewis didn't quit when he was getting his skull cracked open. Abolitionists didn't stop when John Brown was killed. Washington didn't quit during Valley Forge. England didn't quit when Germany was bombing London. Hell it wasn't over in Germany in the depths of the nazi period. There were still people resisting the Nazis.

We aren't even close to that kind of crisis, and we need to remember that throughout history people have pulled themselves together and defeated oppressive forces against them. I really hate reading these pronouncements that it's over. It's bad and it sucks but we aren't hiding in subways while bombs fall on our cities. Prophets of doom, get a grip. Do something, and there's plenty to do.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
