I’m sorry, I should’ve been clearer. Make that “a corrupt and harmful administration.” While I did reference the romantic notions surrounding the American Revolution, I didn’t mean “bloody armed uprising,” is why I used dismiss.

If you truly believe it’s a pillar of American culture that a people have the right to dismiss a corrupt and harmful government, now’s your time to fucking show it.
Call it hyperbole all you want, I don’t care: If we don’t save the world from 45 and his traitorous cohorts, their won’t be a world left.
Okay, Reality Check: the “BOTH SIDES DO IT” meme is pure false equivalence and nonsensical for any outside observer. Where your corporate media push the line of “polarization,” the rest of the world sees extremization of the Right.

Because America is a broken system. If you have enough money and/or power, you can break ALL rules. Even the constitutional kind.
Watch it, the Nazibande is already planning, if not executing early stages right now, a Reichstagsbrand to gain widespread public approval and remove even the last paltry vestiges of Constitutionalism.
I’d say that counts as ruining America. The freedom of the Other and all that jazz. I’m just worried how many have to suffer and die before the murderous dominionist is beaten.
Now would be a pretty good moment for the military to step in, remove the Orange Traitor and his Nazi cohorts from office, and pull a Cincinnatus by holding fresh elections (at best both Presidential and Congressional).
