If we don’t get through, then this “grand experiment” is over and it will end in fire and death. For a lot of us.
It would also end in Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness for many, many more.
I take your point, though. We must get through to our political leadership and they must obey our will, or there's going to be turmoil like no one's seen in this country since 1861.
