      You could also fight it out, you know. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

          Yes. I’m not talking about the people in the Rust Belt, I’m talking about the people in majority Blue states, like Oregon and Washington. There have been lots of riots over police brutality, and the whole Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone that was kept for almost a month. Thing was, with Trump, there will be way tougher riots. People will not worry about looking good for the press since they’re just lying all the time. There are also tons of Trump voters who felt betrayed who were staunch Libertarians, and they studied things like Ruby Ridge and Waco. There’s also a lack of IEDs and sniper rifles at those earlier protests, which will also change. It’s going to be like the Iraq occupation, not to mention Trump voters being really scared and having poor critical thinking skills, and being uneducated as shit (read: easy to outsmart).

              And you’re not doing anything. Whenever someone actually wants to solve a damn problem, you’re like “nooo, you can’t do that! that’s impossible!” and continue to mope all day about the state of the world. Maybe a big revolution would be overkill, but at least I put out pointers for a start. Heed: THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IS NOTHING. What will appease Trump and his voters? Just having too much melanin angers them, and they’re certainly going after our mothers, sisters, and daughters. We Cascadians could all embrace Gandhi’s peace methods and we’d still be killed wholesale. Why can’t you articulate what’s wrong with the plan? Do you have a different plan?
