    I direct you to the wonderful episode of <insert science fiction franchise> where there are enough ‘sane’ people to keep technology alive while the species burns itself down for some insane reason…I hate being correct, I hate being prescient, I hate human nature for it cannot be legislated.

      US is beyond legislation. The law does not matter anymore. Nothing can save US but the actual patriots of America. At any cost. It will be a tough decision to make but, as a devout lover of democracy, I wish there are enough patriots who understand the position US is in. As of now, it does not seem that is the case but, as an outsider looking in, I truly hope I am wrong.

          Agree. And what have we seen so many times before in autocracies and dictatorships and now, every day, in America? That without democracy; there is no guarantee that you will be able to wake up with your family from one day to the other. That is what’s at stake, here. I believe it was Stephen Miller (correct me if I’m wrong) that said their “conservative revolution will be bloodless, if the left allows it to”. I interpret that as, well, literally. I do not want US to have a second civil war, I want you to put an end to this asap, by any means necessary, because for every day they get to continue; is a day more of complete victory. You’re not in a state of kids play, US. This is utterly serious.
