“... martial law will have to be declared.”

There are some 330 million Americans and probably under 1 million actual American soldiers. Even in a place with a better ratio, like the Philippines, martial law was a joke. Martial law might work in a small area but only for a short time. People have suggested martial law in Chicago, for example. But that would simply change the targets from each other to the soldiers. Also, although the law governing use of troops against civilians has been weakened, troops would still need to arrest civilians and because they haven’t been trained to do so lawyers would later get all charges dropped because constitutional protections had not been properly observed.

No, I’m afraid that us citizens need to resolve the issue with the tools we already have. The biggest tool is the ballot box as things seem to get out of hand faster and harder in liberal run areas than conservatively run areas.

Yes, indeed, the ballot box is our ultimate weapon. Just look at damage we did to progressivism in ‘16 The knockout blow comes this November.

Do not fail to vote.
