until by definition, it is too late.

They would insist they have democracy and the people rule as long as they have a "choice" of corporate sanctioned options even if the "choice"was essentially Mussolini vs Hitler. Hell, by the logic of diminishing returns as long as there is a potentially worse than Hitler, Adolf would be an acceptable choice as the "lesser" of trip evils thinking.

The Jews going to the ovens is tolerable if the other viable option is wanting to eliminate hispanics as well, lesser evilisim demands it, one MUST select the most proximate VIABLE option, no matter how far off base it is.
