In a way it's somewhat comforting to finally realize that we will never vote our way out of this mess. Once I faced the reality that direct revolution has now become the only path to freedom. A sense of calm determination has filled every part of my soul.
We now know what we must do. Relish in the only life we have to give for freedom. WE WILL WIN!!

Besides, most people would much rather endure boiling frog syndrome than run headlong into sudden death. MAYBE, when the US looks like this, we'll have revolution, but I don't think the PTB has never let it go that far.
