36. Whether Our Representative Democracy Survives As More Than A Hollow Sham Remains To Be Seen

Thu Nov 14, 2024, 12:53 PM

Reason always resists delusion because in reason's absence our freedoms cease to exist.

How to resist?

1. Do Not Be A Hero
2. Keep Your Head Low
3. Do The Next Correct Thing For Yourself And Your Own
4. Repeat Process

I will be pleasantly surprised if states protecting those within their borders do not end up in armed confrontations with fascist goons.

Time will tell.
Me and mine are just working within arms reach of ourselves.

Don't let the bastards get ya' down.
Seize your day and laissez les bon temps rouler!
