Are you crazy ... half the country would be FINE with that.
I'd like to know your answers:
Doesn't the shrillness of the SSM propaganda sound like desperation?
If you see that, and then assuming that half figure is correct (and it may not be) then
how long before that half figure dissipates because people don't like losers?
Then you’ll get the war you will not avoid anyway.
Get it in the open and over with.
