“In my humble opinion, we hurt our own cause when we threaten insurrection before we’ve given the democratic process a chance to work.”

Amen.

I sometimes wonder about the people who beat their chests and cry out for armed revolution...do they really want to see what the United States of America will look like after?

Do we have the George Washingtons, Thomas Jeffersons, Ben Franklins in today’s world to see us through that? I doubt it. Our moral compass and intellectual understanding as a people is far less than those men.

I’m not afraid of what’s coming, whether it be violent or non-violent. I’m prepared for both. But crying out for a fight will only find you in one...and you may not like the outcome.

If the process by which the will of the people is realized becomes subverted and our voice is silenced, that is another story.

That is in the foreseeable future. Then what?
