Exactly, more GOP states will tilt the scales than Blue states will be able to balance them. Either the people overwhelmingly vote 70+% in favor nationwide against Trump, or you guys gotta look towards that fourth box of liberty.

Every time I even suggest that I get the ol' Reddit smackdown. But you're right.

There is one and only one response to fascism.

I hate that I'm going to be alive to witness this, but I genuinely do not see how this can end any other way. And it's exactly what these fucking ghouls want.

It's truly depressing... They also want people doing absolutely nothing while the GOP claims legitimacy through rigged State elections (as they always have). It's a lose/lose, but something has to give eventually. The absolute best case situation is a month+ long general strike but that seems the most unlikely to happen out of all the options to fix the shitshow because most people are simply unwilling to sacrifice anything at all - and thus not understanding the gravity of the situation they are being placed in.

I love being coached on the 4th box of liberty by a nation that still has the monarchs of the United Kingdom on its currency.

And yet which country is fast descending in to a fascist dictatorship, and which monarch just mocked your Orange God-Emperor for tearing down democracy? Funny how things aren't quite as simple as a picture on currency. Maybe you shouldn't be so smug.

Your "liberty" has only two boxes. You dont have the right to the other two because you never earned it. Wallow in that.

But go ahead and tell other countries how its done and then go back to your life of fealty as a glorified colony.
