[The_Republic_Of_Maine]

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shown, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.

The time has come, by the ballot or by the bullet is up to the g0vt but free we will be. As for all the naysayers, well, you don't count.

“The time has come, by the ballot or by the bullet is up to the g0vt but free we will be.”

Trump or no Trump, quite simply, yes.
They can and they may stop Trump. It matters not.
They cannot stop the sentiments behind his rise.
In many ways, Trump is not even consequential to this situation. After all, the revolution started well before he came on the scene. And it will continue.

Washington lost many battles, some would say most battles. And many GREAT men went down. But the revolution was on a course that could not be stopped. It may have taken longer, maybe 100 years, but it was going to happen no matter what. (The British, to their credit, eventually realized this as inevitable in all their colonies).

We have to take the long view.
