You ask the questions.
You see the lack of change from mass protests and unarmed resistance.
You know that the electoral process is eroded already. There is no hope at the ballot box. None.

The solution is simple - when the intolerable becomes the norm, the answer is rebellion and violence to meet violence.
If you don't want to fight, lay down and die as they roll over you or imprison you or simply shoot you (eventually that IS the outcome)...

We are already seeing concentration camps being built.
We are seeing political retributions and vengeance proscutions.
We are seeing abductions and prison camps overseas being used.
We are seeing our "leader" sell out his people and our allies for the benefit of Putin.

Pretending that we can ignore them and they'll get tired of being criminals or will somehow stop the feeding freenzy of hate and premission to the worst of the worst that is going on now is naive at best and deadly at worst.

Stop thinking someone is going to save us. They won't.

Fight or flight are rapidly becoming the two remaining options...
