Man, y’all people think we don’t know what “implying” something is or what “reaching a natural conclusion” is. Going “oh well that’s not what I said” isn’t a gotcha. I swear reading comprehension is at an all time low if you think everything has to be said directly.
So ok, I’ll bite, what’s your glorious solution? What should we do oh wise one?
Well, considering that a Time Machine is out of the question, and the military- who happens to be capable of using satellites in space to turn every single one of you into a pink mist without even scratching the paint on your neighbors car- is not on your side, I’d say your only option is through diplomacy.
Because face it- America fucked up.
This was all avoidable back in November. There was the chance to overcome this problem- no… to avoid it all-together. But too many chose not to. They chose to make a statement. And now, sadly- everyone suffers for it. That’s it. The end.
If it helps- let’s look at it this way:
Let’s say you committed a crime¹. You are caught, and have been found guilty² Your penance, is prison³. Now, while in prison, you can plan to escape⁴, but you know that won’t work, it’s impossible, and if it were, it would only be so for someone smart enough to pull it off. That you commuted the crime and got caught, illustrates that you are not.
You’re not getting out. Plain and simple.
Now optionally, you can just sit there and stew in the colossal failure that caused you to be in there to begin with and work towards learning from your mistakes so that if/when you are released, you can do better⁵- or you can work with your lawyer(s) on your options to have your sentence overturned⁶.
Those are your options.
In this scenario:
• ¹ - didn’t vote against Trump
• ² - Trump gets elected
• ³ - Trump’s term
• ⁴ - Proposed armed uprising attempt
• ⁵ - Pay attention and be an informed voter
• ⁶ - Be active in local politics. Help in any way you are able to help move the states motions to impeach when the time comes. Work with local groups to petition state reps to act on his crimes.
It’s this or nothing.
Because if you think you have the organization, tactical knowledge, technical functionality, manpower, and arms to overcome the most powerful military on the planet, I would say go right ahead and try-
But know that in doing so- you’re gong to get a LOT of innocent people killed. It’ll be a fucking bloodbath.
And in the end, whoever remains- gets trump for life.
Lastly, do not mistake my suggesting that nothing can be done as a willingness to do nothing about it. Some people sit in prison, knowing they fucked up. They’re not giving in. They’re just quietly having the balls it takes to know they royally fucked it, and working towards understanding how they can avoid a repeat scenario.
Being a realist is not a weakness. Not is it being compliant. It’s simply accepting a circumstance that is out of one’s control.
And for the record, peaceful protest is provenly more effective than violence. Reference:
Ok so what, work within the system? The clearly ineffectual system which isn’t working?
I didn’t say that either.
