(348 posts)It has been torches and pitchforks time for a while now...
And yet here we all sit.
By the time things are bad enough for the spoiled, apathetic, bovine masses to begin to finally fight back, it won't be a fight for our country, but a fight for survival.
This moment for the "conservative" movement has been 40 years in the making. Anybody thinking we can vote our way out in 2020 isn't paying attention. These fascist won't relinquish power without a fight. We are their stated and visceral enemy. They will not yield the power Trump has seized and will continue to seize.
When our institutions have conpletely failed us (We are nearly, if not already there), we will have nothing left but ourselves and the military.
My biggest question is how the loyalty of our military will shake out... that's where the real fight will be. All the MAGAts and their guns are irrelevant compared to the modern weaponry of our armed forces.
America descending into a second civil war would drag the world down with it.
