People today are too far gone from the reality of our situation to understand this. Democracy is only meant to prevent killing one another en masse, as a means to say who would probably win in a war. That’s the very basis of its design.

Think about it. Think of human history. And why is the cutoff exactly >50%? Strength means victory- if not a pyrrhic one.

If you aren’t even willing to vote for your beliefs, you certainly aren’t willing to pickup a rifle. The other side still will.

    There’s an absolute metric ton of domestic and foreign born propaganda out there trying to convince US citizens to pick up a rifle instead of voting.

    Vote.

    But it’s only as good as genuine strength makes it count. Does anyone really think angry letters are enough? Our species is not actually passive; although proper education and acceptance of one another’s opinions could maybe one day get us there. Perhaps.

    But probably not.
