MODERATORS
 

Nearly a third of Americans – 30% – say people may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.

It’s a sharp rise from 18 months ago, when 19% of Americans said the same.

Trump certainly does, or at least it's what he claims.

Just because it will probably be, doesn't mean you have to initiate it first. Not only is there a lot of preparation that needs to go towards a revolution that isn't just arming and shooting, but it's also better if the other side is the one to initiate it first. First is getting rid of the delusion that the federal government hasn't been corrupted beyond repair, getting rid of the delusion that you can work inside a system that's now exponentially worse than it was 4 years ago and somehow fix it. Then you can look at your own history and where power can actually be consolidated, and begin preparing knowing you are working against compromised social networks with the next generation of Cambridge Analyticas so you can't rely on ignoring the elephant in the room.
