I feel like a character in an Orwellian novel.

What happens if we do nothing? Continue the lie for generations until another foreign entity has the ability to forcefully overthrow us? There could be events further back in history, but I only heard about them historically.

The amount of comments here makes me wonder. I thought the story would resonate with more members. Was not DU created in response to election theft 2000?

So, it comes down to what is easiest? Easier to keep the spin going than to say "stop, let's think this through."

I may need to leave the US, and not return, if that is possible. I should not have posted this OP, going to be a rough one today.
