7. What you fear will happen anyway.

If we take Washington DC, which we most likely will, and we beat them stateside as well, they'll be backed into a corner. What do you think these 56 million nutjobs - that's 56 million people of voting age and older - will do when they see themselves being wiped out politically? I think everyone here thinks they'll just sulk and post racist shit online. We've had one civil war before, you know. Instead of freeing slaves we've gone one step further with these Right Wing bastards - we've put what they see as slave material in the Oval Office, and we may well put a woman in office, too.

You're worried about fighting them across the border... but as it stands, when these people finally lose their last gourd, they'll be next door to you, and you won't even know who it is or where they're coming from.

But then backing these animals in a corner won't ever result in rebellion. Nah, can't ever happen.
