    Time to check out a history book or two. With that attitude, US would still be a colony of Britain. Or the US would’ve won in Vietnam instead of getting kicked out by the locals. Granted, it is a bit different without an ocean in between, but it could still happen. Or we could break up like what happened to the USSR.

      We’d be better off if we were still a colony. Independence was rally just a larger version of January 6 with equally suspicious symbols.

      The real question is how many people you are willing to sacrifice for this. How many cities are you willing to burn down?

        Maybe so there is really no way to tell.

        The real question is how many people you are willing to sacrifice for this. How many cities are you willing to burn down?

        Nah that’s not the right question. Talking like that makes you sound like a federal agent trying to entrap people. A better question might be who and what stands in the way of helping the people and how can we address those problems? But that is far less attention grabbing and harder to answer.
