It would be a reactionary revolution, not what some expect. Look who is the heaviest armed, has the most money as individuals, the greater land mass and is full of hatred.

That is the right, constantly working for more control. They have been dehumanizing liberals, progressives, Democrats and minorities for decades now. Their message is we have no right to live, that we should be swept away for their nation, which they do not agree is ours as well, without mercy as 'demons' and 'rats.'

We have something precious to save but they have talked many of us into saying it's all over, to surrender to the inevitable - to their version of America.

I say No...
