So, lets say we get to August or some summer month, and 4,000,000 people are protesting right out front the white house.

Do they send in the tanks? Do they kill 1,000,000 people? Would republican civilians see empathy for the dead americans who were democrats? Or would it unite the nation like 9/11 did, except this time against the government?

    Same sex marriage. Transgender rights. We are in a different age, wars are fought by information now. We are fighting the current war for America by information now. Not by bullets. I am all about Luigis rising up but that’s a lot different than “everyone grab semi and hope for the best.” This isn’t 1776.

      You think gay rights came without violence? One of the first well documented events leading to where we are right now was called the Stonewall Riots

      not a single right you have that wasn’t won via violence.

      Same sex marriage. Transgender rights.

      Could make you wonder how much power the elite had to shed for those.
