It's a realistic thought. You can cling to moral ideology, but it won't save you from the hard stop at the end of your long rope.

Trump's official power is a directly consequence of his loyal military goon squads. That power ends where the US capacity to inflict violence terminates. J6 failed because the police sided with Congress and the incoming President. The next one won't fail, because all those liberal loyalists will have been purged from their roles.

I don't think it's a realistic thought.

We are more than eight billion people, and I am confident that the majority of us people want to live in a world with clear rules based on some form of justice and not on fickle power.

If you want to be a peasant, it's your choice. If you are a US citizen, I think you should grow some balls and stop this gang of bullies from ruining your country and the whole world.

As a grown-up, with family, friends and influence, I am doing my part to make sure that this is not our future. I am not allowing the crazy guy with the gun to take control over the world. And you shouldn't do that either.
