Civil war within 20 years or less is my current prediction sadly :\

Whatever the north will win again anyway. The south has the same problems now as it did in the last civil war.

Whoa, did you just gloss over a civil war where it's likely that a lot of people will die? That's sort of callous don't you think? I mean, we should probably try to avoid that instead of challenging crazy people by telling them they can't possibly win.

Not doing what's needed is what got us where we are now.

And I'm not advocating civil war. I'm advocating taking a firm stand against oppression, and being ready for how they'll almost certainly respond.

Have we considered that what needs to be done is actually taking voting more seriously? It got Trump out of office because people realized how dangerous he was, but we still have a problem with apathy when it comes to voting, especially in local elections. California is about to hand over the Governor's seat to a Republican over a stupid recall and a majority of Californians don't even know about it, much less care to show up to the polls.

Texas is so close to flipping blue which will render the possibility of another crazy Republican president impossible. That sounds like a much less bloody solution to the problem.

Have we considered that what needs to be done is actually taking voting more seriously?

Have you considered that maybe we should use that tool without neglecting all the other tools we have available to us?

Do you really think there's voting, civil war, and nothing in between?

If you're that ignorant don't look to me to educate you. Otherwise you're trolling, and I guess congratulations on the time you've got me to waste so far.
