If the Founding Fathers took your advice you’d be spelling honor with a “u” and toasting the Queen on her birthday - like we do in Canada. Your Republic is broken. It cannot be saved through a corrupt electoral system that is protected by the Deep State. You will become slaves or you will have another revolution. The status quo is not an option.
Never play into the hands of your enemy.
Remember Saul Alinsky’s Golden Rule of asymmetric warfare - “your enemy's reactions (and actions), suitably goaded and directed in their response, will be your greatest asset.
We are being goaded and directed towards the use of violence so we lose the revolution.
Don't ever play into the hands of the enemy and never do what they are baiting you to do.
The status quo is not an option - agreed on that one.
Violence is simply not an option to effect positive change of the status quo because it is counter productive and the direct path to losing the revolution.
Violence is NOT what winning looks like and it is a sure way to lose the battle for public sympathy and support for the cause.
