I think you need a literal rebellion to get the change you want. Glad I don't live there, watching America decay is something else.

It's sad. Like watching a sibling turn into Alex in A Clockwork Orange.

Can we first try passing electoral reform at the state level and get rid of the spoiler effect inherent with a First past the post voting system?

How can we steer this car away from the cliff if we are bound and gagged in the back of the cop car?

Resist.

Resist the urge to deviate from the plan.

Resists the ideologues who only want violence.

Resist the temptation to sit back and do nothing.

The forces at work here are a Typhoon. We need to be a rock it smashes up against.
