But, I would prefer that the voters open their eyes and ears and begin to use their heads for something other than a hat rack. Oh! And vote!

Using hyperbole riles up those of us who are angry, but it also riles up the lunatics. It's part of what got us into this mess in the first place. And believe me, our opponents are masters of hyperbole.

I prefer to fight them with votes, and were not going to get those with hyperbole, not when that's all the opponents know.

The answer is to call them out.

on edit: Google "alien and sedition act" to understand why sedition is another term to be worried about.
